Question
The task is to evaluate the summation below:

\[
\sum_{n=2}^{5} (-2n^2 + 3n)
\]

To evaluate this, calculate the expression \(-2n^2 + 3n\) for each integer value of \(n\) from 2 to 5, and then find the sum of these values.

**Steps:**

1. **For \(n = 2\):**
   \[
   -2(2)^2 + 3(2) = -8 + 6 = -2
   \]

2. **For \(n = 3\):**
   \[
   -2(3)^2 + 3(3) = -18 + 9 = -9
   \]

3. **For \(n = 4\):**
   \[
   -2(4)^2 + 3(4) = -32 + 12 = -20
   \]

4. **For \(n = 5\):**
   \[
   -2(5)^2 + 3(5) = -50 + 15 = -35
   \]

Finally, add all these results together:

\[
-2 + (-9) + (-20) + (-35) = -66
\]

The evaluated result of the summation is \(-66\).
