Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's call the original length of the skirt "l". After cutting 7 inches off the bottom, the remaining length of the skirt is l-7. Then, when Christi adds a 5-inch ruffle, the final length of the skirt becomes:

(l-7) + 5

Simplifying this expression, we get:

l - 2

Therefore, the expression that best represents the final length of the skirt is:

O2 - s
