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`.
