Answer:
Therefore the expression is option A)

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Statement as ' 8 less than two times X'
To Find :
Expression for the statement
'8 less than two times X'
Solution:

Now 8 less than two times X means Subtract 8 from '2x'

Therefore the expression is option A)

-7 is correct because a negative plus a negative is always a negative
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "c. translate circle J by (x-a, y-b) and dilate by a factor of t/s." Circle J is located in the first quadrant with center (a, b) and radius s. Felipe transforms Circle J to prove that it is similar to any circle centered <span>at the origin with radius r.</span>
Answer:
a = 0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Our strategy to solve this problem will be to use the information given in the table to obtain first the value of c in the quadratic equation which has the form ax^2 + bx + c and then form a system of 2 linear equations and solve for the coefficients a and b as follow:
from x=0 and y=-3 a*0 + b* 0 + c = - 3
c = -3
from x=1 and y= -3.75
a*(1) + *(1) + (-3) = -3.75
a + b = -3.75 + 3 = -0.75
from x= 2 and y = -4
a* (2)^2 + b*(2) + (-3) = -4
4a + 2b = -4 +1
4a + 2b = -1
Now we can solve the system f equations by elimination:
a + b = -0.75
4a + 2b = -1
multiply first equation by -2 and add to the second and get
-2a - 2b = +1.50
4a + 2b = -1
2a = 0.50 and substituting into any of the equations get b = -1
so the quadratic equation has a= 0.25 b= -1 c= -3
we can even plug the any of the other values for x given in the table and check the answer.

In this exercise, we know some facts:
- Lin read for x minutes.
- Elena read for more than that.
The problem tells us nothing about the number of minutes Elena read more than Lin. However, let's say Elena read one-third more than the number of minutes Lin read. Therefore:
<u>For Lin:</u>

<u>For Elena:</u>
