Question

Subtracting 3xy2 from 8xy2 gives the same result as the expression. A. 3xy^2 - 8xy^2 B. -7xy^2 - 2xy^2 C. 7xy^2 - 2xy^2

Answer 1

Subtracting 3xy² from 8xy² is 8xy² - 3xy² = 5xy²

Answer: C. 7xy² - 2xy² = 5xy²

Answer 2

Option (c) is correct.

`7xy^2-2xy^2` is the correct expression

Explanation:

Given : Expression
`3xy^2` and
`8xy^2`

We have to subtract
`3xy^2` from
`8xy^2` and choose the correct expression from the given options.

Consider the given expressions
`3xy^2` and
`8xy^2`

we have to subtract
`3xy^2` from
`8xy^2`

Thus, while subtracting we write term after 'from' before.

Therefore,
`8xy^2-3xy^2=5xy^2` is the correct expression

Also subtracting
`7xy^2-2xy^2=5xy^2` gives same result.

So, option (c) gives the same result as obtained from given expression.
