evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable.

Question

6(x-6)+4 for x =8
A. 88
B. 6(8x-6)+4
C. 16
D. 46

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression $6(x-6)+4$ for $x=8$, we will substitute $8$ into the expression:

1. Substitute $x=8$:

   $$6(8-6)+4$$

2. Calculate $8-6$:

   $$8-6=2$$

3. Now the expression becomes:

   $$6(2)+4$$

4. Calculate $6\times 2$:

   $$6\times 2=12$$

5. Now add $4$:

   $$12+4=16$$

Thus, the value of the expression when $x=8$ is $16$. Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. 16
