$- 34$ $-34$

Explanation:

When evaluating expressions with $mixed operations$ $color(blue)"mixed operations"$ there is a particular order which we must follow.

Follow the order as set in the acronym PEMDAS.

$\Rightarrow (3^{2} + 8) = (9 + 8) = 17 \leftarrow bracket and exponent$ $rArr(3^2+8)=(9+8)=17larrcolor(red)" bracket and exponent"$

$- 2 \times 17 = - 34 \leftarrow multiplication$ $-2xx17=-34larrcolor(red)"multiplication"$
