To find the value of the function [tex]\( f(x) = 6x - 4 \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Substitute the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] into the function:
[tex]\[
f(8) = 6(8) - 4
\][/tex]
2. Multiply the coefficient 6 by the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] which is 8:
[tex]\[
6 \cdot 8 = 48
\][/tex]
3. Subtract 4 from the result of the multiplication:
[tex]\[
48 - 4 = 44
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\( f(8) \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 44 \)[/tex].
So, the correct answer is:
44
