To solve the function [tex]\( f(x) = 6x - 4 \)[/tex] for [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Substitute [tex]\( x \)[/tex] with 8 in the function: We have the function [tex]\( f(x) = 6x - 4 \)[/tex]. We want to find [tex]\( f(8) \)[/tex], so we replace [tex]\( x \)[/tex] with 8:
[tex]\[
f(8) = 6 \cdot 8 - 4
\][/tex]
2. Perform the multiplication: Multiply 6 by 8:
[tex]\[
6 \cdot 8 = 48
\][/tex]
3. Subtract 4 from the result: Take the result of the multiplication and subtract 4:
[tex]\[
48 - 4 = 44
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\( f(8) = 44 \)[/tex].
So, when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex], [tex]\( f(x) = 44 \)[/tex].
