Answer

\[-48\].

Work Step by Step

Put \[x=5\]in the given expression and simplify it as follows: \[\begin{align} & 6+2{{\left( x-8 \right)}^{3}}=6+2{{\left( 5-8 \right)}^{3}} \\ & =6+2{{\left( -3 \right)}^{3}} \\ & =6+2\left( -27 \right) \\ & =-48 \end{align}\] Hence, the algebraic expression \[6+2{{\left( x-8 \right)}^{3}}\] evaluated at \[x=5\]gives\[-48\].
