evaluate the expression when c=5 and x=-4 .
-8c + x

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute c and x values

Substitute \( c = 5 \) and \( x = -4 \) into the expression \( -8c + x \).
\( -8\times5 + (-4) \)

Step2: Calculate multiplication

First, calculate \( -8\times5 \).
\( -8\times5 = -40 \)

\( -40 + (-4) = -44 \)

Answer:

\( -44 \)
