Question

Evaluate the expression. $$2(-6)(-x) \text { when } x=4$$

Short answer

The evaluated expression is \(48\).

Step-by-step solution

Substitute the value of \(x\)

Firstly, replace the \(x\) in the expression \(2(-6)(-x)\) with the given value \(4\). So the expression becomes \(2(-6)(-4)\).

Perform multiplication

Now, perform the multiplication operation within the expression. Multiply \(-6\) and \(-4\), then multiply their product by \(2\). So, \(2(-6)(-4)=2(24)=48\).
