Question

Evaluate 3(a + b + c)2 for a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4

Answer 1

Answer: 243

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression

$3(a + b + c)^2$

Note that the expression depends on 3 variables

a, b and c

in this case we want to evaluate the expression for

$a = 2\\b = 3\\c = 4$

Then change the variable a by the number 2, the variable b by the number 3 and the variable c by the number 4

So we have

$3(2 + 3 + 4)^2$

Now simplify the expression

$3(9)^2$

$3*81=243$

The answer is 243

Answer 2

ANSWER

$243$

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

$3 {(a + b + c)}^{2}$

We want to evaluate this expression for:

a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4.

We substitute the given values into the expression to get:

$3(2 + 3 + 4)^{2}$

Let us perform the addition inside the parenthesis to get:

$3(9)^{2}$

$3(81) =24 3$

Therefore the given expression evaluates to:

$243$
