8 ∗ ( 3 ∗ 2 − 8 ) + 10 = = 8 ∗ ( 6 − 8 ) + 10 = = 8 ∗ ( − 2 ) + 10 = = − 16 + 10 = = − 6
8 × ( 3 × 2 − 8 ) + 10 = 8 × ( 6 − 8 ) + 10 = 8 × ( − 2 ) + 10 = − 16 + 10 = − 6
The expression 8 x ( 3 x 2 − 8 ) + 10 simplifies to 24 x 3 − 64 x + 10 . To evaluate it for a specific value of x , substitute that value into the expression. For example, when x = 2 , the result is 74 .
