The reason that we can't have the square (or quartic) root of a negative number is that two negatives always cancel to give a plus; so the square root of a negative number is undefined. ... The Real cube root of any negative Real number is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

#1: You distribute the exponent so then it turns to:
2(x squared - 4 squared)-3

#2: Then you would solve for 4 squared which is 16 (-4✖️-4):
2(x squared+16)-3

#3: Then you distribute the 2:
2x squared+(2)16-3
Finally Solve:

2x squared+32-3

Final 2x squared+29
(I believe that's the right answer)
