Question

describe each expression.
the expression ( 6x + 8 ) means 8 more than the product of 6 and a number.
the expression ( 8x - 6 ) means 6 less than the product of 8 and a number.
the expression ( 8 - 6x ) means minus the product of and a number.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first blank

In the expression \(8 - 6x\), the first term is \(8\). So the first blank should be filled with \(8\).

Step2: Analyze the second blank

In the term \(6x\), which is the product of \(6\) and \(x\) (where \(x\) is the number). So the second blank should be filled with \(6\).

Answer:

The first blank is \(8\) and the second blank is \(6\).
