To determine the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] given the function [tex]\( y = 8 - 2x \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex], we'll proceed step-by-step:
1. Start by writing the function:
[tex]\[
y = 8 - 2x
\][/tex]
2. Substitute [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] into the function:
[tex]\[
y = 8 - 2(8)
\][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[
y = 8 - 16
\][/tex]
4. Finally, subtract 16 from 8:
[tex]\[
y = -8
\][/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( -8 \)[/tex].
