If the product (3x^2 - 5x + 4)(7 - x) can be written in the form ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d, where a,b,c,d are real numbers, then find 8a + 4b + 2c + d.

Let f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+d=(3x25x+4)(7x). Note that 8a+4b+2c+d=f(2), so hence we can just plug x=2 into (3x25x+4)(7x) for an answer of (32252+4)(72)=(1210+4)(72)=(6)(5)=30.
