Evaluate f(-8)=(11(x-24))/2

$f (- 8) = \frac{11 (x - 24)}{2}$

Step 1

Divide each term in $f (- 8) = \frac{11 (x - 24)}{2}$ by $- 8$ .

$\frac{f \cdot - 8}{- 8} = \frac{\frac{11 (x - 24)}{2}}{- 8}$

Step 2

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{f \cdot - 8}{- 8} = \frac{\frac{11 (x - 24)}{2}}{- 8}$

Divide $f$ by $1$ .

$f = \frac{\frac{11 (x - 24)}{2}}{- 8}$

Step 3

Simplify the right side.

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$f = \frac{11 (x - 24)}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{- 8}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$f = \frac{11 (x - 24)}{2} (- \frac{1}{8})$

Multiply $\frac{11 (x - 24)}{2} (- \frac{1}{8})$ .

Multiply $\frac{11 (x - 24)}{2}$ by $\frac{1}{8}$ .

$f = - \frac{11 (x - 24)}{2 \cdot 8}$

Multiply $2$ by $8$ .

$f = - \frac{11 (x - 24)}{16}$
