Explanation:

Here is the complete question: At a restaurant jars of tomato are stored in boxes in the pantry. each box contains 8 jars of tomato sauce. A cook uses 2 jars from 1 of the boxes. Which function shows the relationship between y, the total number of jars of tomato sauce remaining in the pantry, and x, the number of boxes in the pantry?

Given: Each boxes contain 8 jars of tomato sauce.

Cook uses 2 jars from 1 of the boxes.

As we know total number of boxes is "x".

Number of jars in the pantry is
`8\ jars * x\ boxes= 8x \ jars`

∵ cook uses 2 jars from one box.

∴
`y=8x-2` ( y is used to show relationship)

The relationship between y, the total number of jars of tomato sauce remaining in the pantry, and x, the number of boxes in the pantry is
`y=8x-2`.
