Answer: ___________________



Answer :

Sure, let's solve the expression step-by-step.

### Given Expression:
[tex]\[ 2 \cdot (6-2)^2 - (7 \cdot 2 + 1) / 3 \][/tex]

1. Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ 6 - 2 = 4 \][/tex]

2. Square the result of the inner parentheses:
[tex]\[ 4^2 = 16 \][/tex]

3. Multiply the squared value by 2:
[tex]\[ 2 \cdot 16 = 32 \][/tex]

4. Evaluate the expression inside the second set of parentheses:
[tex]\[ 7 \cdot 2 + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15 \][/tex]

5. Divide the result by 3:
[tex]\[ 15 / 3 = 5.0 \][/tex]

6. Subtract the divided value from the multiplied value:
[tex]\[ 32 - 5.0 = 27.0 \][/tex]

Thus, the value of the expression [tex]\( 2 \cdot (6-2)^2 - (7 \cdot 2 + 1) / 3 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{27.0} \][/tex]
