Can someone please help me with this question?? It’s really hard and once you understand it, can you please give me an explanati
Thepotemich [5.8K]

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.
