To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the function [tex]\( f(x) = 6x - 4 \)[/tex] at [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex].
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Start by writing down the function provided:
[tex]\[
f(x) = 6x - 4
\][/tex]
2. Substitute [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] into the function:
[tex]\[
f(8) = 6(8) - 4
\][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication first:
[tex]\[
6 \cdot 8 = 48
\][/tex]
4. Now, subtract 4 from the result of the multiplication:
[tex]\[
48 - 4 = 44
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\( f(8) = 44 \)[/tex].
So, the value of [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 44 \)[/tex], and the correct answer is:
[tex]\[
44
\][/tex]
