Question

Which expression represents the difference of (5x-3y) and (8x+8y)?

Answer 1

Given:

The expressions are:

$(5x-3y)$ and $(8x+8y)$

To find:

The difference of $(5x-3y)$ and $(8x+8y)$.

Solution:

Difference of $(5x-3y)$ and $(8x+8y)$ is written as:

$Difference=(5x-3y)-(8x+8y)$

On simplification, we get

$Difference=5x-3y-8x-8y$

$Difference=(5x-8x)+(-3y-8y)$

$Difference=-3x-11y$

Therefore, the difference of $(5x-3y)$ and $(8x+8y)$ is $-3x-11y$.
