A. L + T = 2
T=L-8

B. L-T=8
T=2L-1

C. L+T =8
T=2L-1

D. L+T =8
T= 2L +1

Answer 1

L+T = 8

T = 2L -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of lions be represented by L

Let the number of tigers be represented by T

A zoo has a total of 8 lions and tigers :

$L + T= 8$

The number of tigers are one less than twice the number of lions. :

$T = 2L -1$
