Answer:
8-x
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because you currently don't know how much it measured the previous week. A plant can't shrink, it can only grow. So 8 is the higher amount. This means that you need to subtract 8 from the previous amount to figure out the growth. So circle whichever one says 8-x.
