To determine the value of [tex]\(4p - 2\)[/tex] when [tex]\(p = 8\)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Substitute [tex]\(p = 8\)[/tex] into the expression [tex]\(4p - 2\)[/tex].
2. Perform the multiplication first:
[tex]\[
4 \times 8 = 32
\][/tex]
3. Subtract 2 from the result obtained in the previous step:
[tex]\[
32 - 2 = 30
\][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\(4p - 2\)[/tex] when [tex]\(p = 8\)[/tex] is [tex]\(30\)[/tex].
Therefore, the correct answer is [tex]\(30\)[/tex].
