[tex]6(2b - 4)[/tex]
Expanding the terms,
[tex](6 \times 2b) - (6 \times 4) \\ = 12b - 24[/tex]
Plugging in our value b,
[tex]b = 5 \\ 12b - 24 = 12(5) - 24 = 36[/tex]
So the answer is,
[tex]36[/tex]
Answer:
Given expression: 6(2b - 4)
To find the value of 6(2b - 4) at b= 5, we need to substitute the b=5 in the expression, we get
6(2(5) - 4)
= 6(10 - 4)…[solve parentheses]
= 6(6)
6 * 6 = 36
=> 6(2(5) - 4) = 36
Therefore, the value of 6(2b - 4) is 36, when b=5.
