evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable.

6(8x-6)+4 for x =8

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( 6(8x - 6) + 4 \) for \( x = 8 \), follow these steps:

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

  2. Calculate \( 8(8) \): \[ 8(8) = 64 \]

  3. Now calculate \( 64 - 6 \): \[ 64 - 6 = 58 \]

  4. Next, multiply by 6: \[ 6(58) = 348 \]

  5. Finally, add 4: \[ 348 + 4 = 352 \]

Therefore, the value of the expression for \( x = 8 \) is \( 352 \).
