Answer: The value of A is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$(x+6y)-(3x-10y)$

We need to change it in the form of Ax+By.

So, it becomes,

$x+6y-3x+10y\\\\=(x-3x)+(6y+10y)\\\\=-2x+16y$

Now, we will equate this with Ax+By:

By comparing the coefficient of x and y:

$-2x+16y=Ax+By\\\\\implies A=-2\\\\and\\\\\implies B=16$

Hence, the value of A is -2.
