evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable.

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

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( 6(8x - 6) + 4 \) for \( x = 8 \), we will substitute \( 8 \) in place of \( x \) and perform the calculations step by step.

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

  2. Calculate inside the parentheses: \[ 8(8) = 64 \ 64 - 6 = 58 \]

  3. Now substitute back: \[ 6(58) + 4 \]

  4. Multiply: \[ 6 \times 58 = 348 \]

  5. Now add \( 4 \): \[ 348 + 4 = 352 \]

So, the evaluated expression for \( x = 8 \) is \( 352 \).

Since none of the provided options (A. 88, B. 6(8x-6)+4, C. 16, D. 46) match \( 352, \) it appears there may be a mistake in the options listed or in the interpretation of the expression to evaluate.

Thus, the expression evaluates to \( 352 \), which is not among the answer choices provided.
