Answer

Options A, C and D are all correct.

They simplify to give 5x - 3y

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to pick the expressions which simplify to give 5x - 3y

Taking the statements one at a time,

Option A

5x + -8y + 5y

= 5x - 8y + 5y

= 5x - 3y

This option is correct.

Option B

15xy ≠ (5x - 3y)

This option is not correct.

Option C

5 (x + y) + -8y

= 5x + 5y - 8y

= 5x - 3y

This option is correct.

Option D

-2 (2y - x) + x + x + x + y

= -4y + 2x + 3x + y

= 5x - 3y

This option is correct.

Hope this Helps!!!
