See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Using the PEDMAS order of operation, first execute the Exponent operations:

`3 * 6^color(red)(2) - 4^color(red)(2) => 3 * 36 - 16`

Next, execute the Multiplication operation:

`color(red)(3) * color(red)(36) - 16 => 108 - 16`

Now, execute the Subtraction operation:

`108 - 16 => 92`
