Answer:

Six

Explanation:

Given the following question:


4(8-x)

In order to find the answer, we will solve the equation by using order of operations.


4(8-x)

x=6

4(8-6)

(8-6)=2

4*2=8

8

Which means in order for the equation to equal eight, we have to substitute x for "6" or the third option.

Hope this helps.
