Answer:

Explanation:

The expression that represents the number of inches the plant grew this week is:

8 - x

This is because we are looking for the difference between the plant's height this week (which is 8 inches) and its height last week (which is x inches). Subtracting x from 8 gives us the amount by which the plant grew this week.


Hope this helped!
