Answer:

48

Explanation:

You want the value of y for x=4 using the equation ...

y = 12x +6 -2x +2

Evaluation

Put the value of x where x is in the equation and do the arithmetic.

y = 12(4) +6 -2(4) +2

y = 48 +6 -8 +2 = 48

The y-value is 48 when x=4.

Additional comment

The equation can be simplified by combining like terms:

y = 10x +8 = 10(4) +8 = 40 +8 = 48
