Answer:
Option C is correct
[tex]16 = 1.2n+ (-8)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the statement:
Sixteen is the same as one and two-tenths times a number added to negative 8.
Here,
let n be the number.
"one and two-tenths times a number" [tex]1.2 n[/tex]
"one and two-tenths times a number added to negative 8" translated to [tex]1.2n +(-8)[/tex]
then;
the equation that represents the statement is:
[tex]16= 1.2n+ (-8)[/tex]
