See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, combine like terms within the parenthesis:

#2x(2x^2 - 15x + 17)#

Now, To evaluate this expression multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

#color(red)(2x)(2x^2 - 15x + 17)#

#(color(red)(2x) xx 2x^2) - (color(red)(2x) xx 15x) + (color(red)(2x) xx 17)#

#4x^3 - 30x^2 + 34x#
