1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( km + \frac{8}{m} \) for \( k = 6 \) and \( m = 2 \), we will substitute the values of \( k \) and \( m \) into the expression.

Starting with the expression:

\[ km + \frac{8}{m} \]

Substituting \( k = 6 \) and \( m = 2 \):

\[ 6 \cdot 2 + \frac{8}{2} \]

Now calculate \( 6 \cdot 2 \):

\[ 6 \cdot 2 = 12 \]

Next, calculate \( \frac{8}{2} \):

\[ \frac{8}{2} = 4 \]

Now, substitute these values back into the expression:

\[ 12 + 4 \]

Finally, add the results together:

\[ 12 + 4 = 16 \]

Thus, the simplified answer is:

\[ \boxed{16} \]
