To determine the value of the function [tex]\( f(x) = 6x - 4 \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Start with the given function [tex]\( f(x) = 6x - 4 \)[/tex].
2. Substitute [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] into the function:
[tex]\[
f(8) = 6(8) - 4
\][/tex]
3. First, perform the multiplication within the function:
[tex]\[
6 \times 8 = 48
\][/tex]
4. Next, subtract 4 from the result of the multiplication:
[tex]\[
48 - 4 = 44
\][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 44 \)[/tex].
