Answer:

For X = 11, the expression is equal to 31

Explanation:

Hello

For X = 11 you only have to replaced the value into the expression, so:

3(11) + 4(11-8) - 14

33 + 4(3) - 14

33 + 12 - 14

31

Best regards

Hello there!

Plug 11 into the equation, by replacing x with it and simplify.

3x+ 4(x-8) - 14

3(11) + 4(11-8) - 14 -- Remember PEMDAS, start by subtracting 11 - 8.

3(11) + 4(3) - 14 -- Next, multiply 3 by 11.

33 + 4(3) - 14 -- Now, multiply 4 by 3.

33 + 12 - 14 -- Now, add 33 to 12.

45 - 14 -- Now, take 14 away from 45.

31 -- This is your final answer.

I hope this was helpful and have a great rest of your day! ~ saturns
