Question

evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable.
6(8x-6)+4 for x =8
A.88
B.6(8x-6)+4
C.16
D.46

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( 6(8x - 6) + 4 \) for \( x = 8 \), we will substitute \( 8 \) in place of \( x \) and perform the calculations step by step.

1. Substitute \( x = 8 \) into the expression:
\[
6(8(8) - 6) + 4
\]

2. Calculate inside the parentheses:
\[
8(8) = 64 \\
64 - 6 = 58
\]

3. Now substitute back:
\[
6(58) + 4
\]

4. Multiply:
\[
6 \times 58 = 348
\]

5. Now add \( 4 \):
\[
348 + 4 = 352
\]

So, the evaluated expression for \( x = 8 \) is \( 352 \).

Since none of the provided options (A. 88, B. 6(8x-6)+4, C. 16, D. 46) match \( 352, \) it appears there may be a mistake in the options listed or in the interpretation of the expression to evaluate.

Thus, the expression evaluates to \( 352 \), which is not among the answer choices provided.
