1.) how do you evaluate this expression M^2-6m-8

Do you know the value of m
For example, let m = 2,
Then substitute 2 for m in the above expression:

2.) how do you evaluate this 2x6+28/4-7
Remember that multiplication and division have higher priority than the addition and subtraction.
So we need to evaluate them first.

In the above calculation, we find 2 * 6 = 12 and 28/4 = 7 first
Then we obtained an expression with addition and subtraction only.
Evaluate 12 + ...
