Step-by-step explanation:

this is your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct answer is option (d) 5s-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Maria and john are climbing steps to a hill top          

Maria is at step "s"    

The total number of steps to the hill top is 8 less than 5times the number of steps maria has climbed  

Here we need to find algebraic expression for the total number of steps

Convert the given condition into mathematical expression

Let "T" be the total number of the steps  

The total number of steps (T) will be equals to 8 less than (-8) to 5 times the number of steps (5s)  Maris has climbed

∴  T = 5s - 8
