Answer:

The right answer is: Option C: x+5

Explanation:

Let m1 be the miles Lukas drove on Saturday and Let m2 be the miles he drove on Sunday


m_1 = 4x-5\\m_2 = 3x-10

The difference can be found out by subtracting m2 from m1

minus sign will be distributed into the bracket and alike terms will be added or subtracted according to sign.


m_1 - m_2 = 4x-5 - (3x-10)\\= 4x-5-3x+10\\= x+5

The difference of miles driven is: x+5

Hence,

The right answer is: Option C: x+5
