Question

evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable.
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
