    Answer:

    the image is -38.7 cm from the lens

    Explanation:

    We use the lens equation which says  

    $\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f} $

    where u is the distance to the object, v is the distance to the image, and f  is the focal length.

    Now, in our case

    u =18.6cm,

    v= 35.8cm,

    f = 35.8cm;

    therefore,

    $\frac{1}{18.6}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{35.8} $

    $\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{35.8}-\frac{1}{18.6} $

    \boxed{v=-38.7cm}

    where the negative sign indicates that the image is virtual and on the same side of the lens as the object.
