To find the value of the function [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] when [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] for the given function [tex]\( f(x) = 6x - 4 \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Begin by substituting [tex]\( x = 8 \)[/tex] into the function.
2. Perform the substitution:
[tex]\[
f(8) = 6(8) - 4
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the multiplication:
[tex]\[
6 \times 8 = 48
\][/tex]
4. Subtract 4 from the result of the multiplication:
[tex]\[
48 - 4 = 44
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\( f(8) = 44 \)[/tex].
