Explanation

Choice D is correct. The value of gx when x=8 can be found by substituting 8 for x in the given equation gx=10x+8. This yields g8=108+8, or g8=88. Therefore, when x=8, the value of gx is 88 .

Choice A is incorrect. This is the value of x when gx=8, rather than the value of gx when x=8.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
