Answer 2

Option C is correct

`16 = 1.2n+ (-8)`

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"
`1.2 n`

"one and two-tenths times a number added to negative 8" translated to
`1.2n +(-8)`

then;

the equation that represents the statement is:

`16= 1.2n+ (-8)`
