Evaluate the expression when the value of the variable is given. 40 - 8x when x = 2

24

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate this, we just need to substitute 2 for whenever we see x.

40 - 8 (2)

From here, we can just use order of operations to simplify it down to a single number.

40 - 16

24

So, when x = 2, we get 24.
