Full solution

Q. Evaluate the expression for x=6x = -6.\newline82x=-8 - 2x = _____
  1. Substitute xx with 6-6: Substitute xx with 6-6 in the expression 82x–8 − 2x.\newlineSubstitute 6-6 for xx in 82x–8 − 2x to get 82(6)–8 − 2(-6).
  2. Evaluate expression: Evaluate 82(6)–8 − 2(-6).82(6)=8+12–8 − 2(-6) = –8 + 12 (since multiplying a negative by a negative gives a positive).
  3. Add numbers: Add 8-8 and 1212.\newline8+12=4-8 + 12 = 4.
