Answer

Finally, subtract and add to get the answer: \(9 + 5\).

Steps

Step 1 :Substitute \(x = 3\) into the polynomial expression, so we have \(2*(3)^{2} - 3*3 + 5\).

Step 2 :Calculate the square and multiplication, we get: \(2*9 - 9 + 5\).

Step 3 :Perform the operations in the correct order (BIDMAS/BODMAS), so we have: \(18 - 9 + 5\).

Step 4 :Finally, subtract and add to get the answer: \(9 + 5\).
