To determine the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] for the function [tex]\( y = 8 - 2x \)[/tex], we follow these steps:
1. Identify the given function: [tex]\( y = 8 - 2x \)[/tex].
2. Substitute [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] into the function:
[tex]\[
y = 8 - 2(8)
\][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[
y = 8 - 16
\][/tex]
4. Finally, perform the subtraction:
[tex]\[
y = -8
\][/tex]
Thus, the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( -8 \)[/tex].
