Math Problem Statement

Which expression has the same value as −8x + 10y?

Solution

The given expression is:

8x+10y-8x + 10y

We need to identify which expression has the same value.

  1. 8x(10y)-8x - (-10y) simplifies to 8x+10y-8x + 10y, which matches the given expression.

  2. 8x+10y8x + 10y does not match, as it changes the sign of xx.

  3. 10y(8x)10y - (-8x) simplifies to 10y+8x10y + 8x, which is equivalent but in reversed order and does not match.

  4. 10y+8x10y + 8x is rearranged but not the same order as the original.

Correct answer: 8x(10y)-8x - (-10y).
