Can someone me with this question? ? it’s really hard and once you understand it, can you give me an explanation? so ( number: 7)

We want to subtract 8x + 3 from -2x+5. We can create an expression to represent this.

-2x + 5 - (8x + 3).

After this, lets distribute the - sign (think of this like expanding something with -1).

-2x + 5 - 8x - 3

Lastly, we just need to combine like terms.

-2x + 5 - 8x - 3

Combine the 5 and -3 to get 2.

-2x + 2 - 8x

Combine the -2x and -8x to get -10x.

-10x + 2

The final answer to the question is therefore A.

2
