The distance of the object from the lens is 3.12 cm.
Magnification is the process of of enlarging an apparent size of an object.
The object distance is calculated using the following lens formula;
[tex]M = \frac{V}{U}[/tex]
where;
[tex]- 8 = \frac{-25}{U} \\\\U = \frac{-25}{-8} \\\\U = 3.12 \ cm[/tex]
Thus, the distance of the object from the lens is 3.12 cm.
