Transcript text: $-6(3 f+2 k)$ use $f=2$ and $k=4$
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the expression \(-6(3f + 2k)\) given \(f = 2\) and \(k = 4\), we need to substitute the values of \(f\) and \(k\) into the expression and then perform the arithmetic operations.
Step 1: Substitute the given values into the expression
Given the expression \(-6(3f + 2k)\) and the values \(f = 2\) and \(k = 4\), we substitute these values into the expression:
\[
-6(3 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot 4)
\]
Step 2: Simplify inside the parentheses
First, calculate the values inside the parentheses:
\[
3 \cdot 2 = 6 \quad \text{and} \quad 2 \cdot 4 = 8
\]
So the expression inside the parentheses becomes:
\[
6 + 8
\]
Step 3: Add the values inside the parentheses
Add the values inside the parentheses:
\[
6 + 8 = 14
\]
Step 4: Multiply by the coefficient outside the parentheses
Now, multiply the result by \(-6\):
\[
-6 \cdot 14 = -84
\]
