To evaluate the expression \( 6(8x - 6) + 4 \) for \( x = 8 \), follow these steps:
-
Substitute \( x = 8 \) into the expression: \[ 6(8(8) - 6) + 4 \]
-
Calculate \( 8(8) \): \[ 8(8) = 64 \]
-
Now calculate \( 64 - 6 \): \[ 64 - 6 = 58 \]
-
Next, multiply by 6: \[ 6(58) = 348 \]
-
Finally, add 4: \[ 348 + 4 = 352 \]
Therefore, the value of the expression for \( x = 8 \) is \( 352 \).
