To simplify the expression \( 7x - 8 \cdot 6x^3 \):
1. First, identify the components present in the given expression:
\( 7x \) and \( - 8 \cdot 6x^3 \).
2. Perform the multiplication within the term \( - 8 \cdot 6x^3 \):
\[
- 8 \cdot 6x^3 = -48x^3
\]
3. Now, rewrite the expression with the simplified term:
\[
7x - 48x^3
\]
4. The terms \( 7x \) and \( -48x^3 \) are unlike terms (since \( 7x \) is a first-degree term and \( -48x^3 \) is a third-degree term).
Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is:
\[
7x - 48x^3
\]
24.
Simplify the expression.
