Let's solve the given problem step by step.
We are given the function [tex]\( f(x) = 6x - 4 \)[/tex] and we need to find [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex].
1. Start by substituting [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] into the function:
[tex]\[ f(8) = 6(8) - 4 \][/tex]
2. First, multiply 6 by 8:
[tex]\[ 6 \times 8 = 48 \][/tex]
3. Next, subtract 4 from 48:
[tex]\[ 48 - 4 = 44 \][/tex]
Therefore, when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex], [tex]\( f(x) = 44 \)[/tex].
So, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 44 \][/tex]
