Question

Subtracting 3xy^2 from 8xy^2 gives the same result as the expression as

A : 3xy^2 - 8xy^2
B : -7xy^2 - 2xy^2
C : 7xy^2 - 2xy^2

Answer 1

When you subtract 3xy^2 from 8xy^2, you will get the result 5xy^2. And so if you subtract 2xy^2 from 7xy^2, you will also get 5xy^2. So the answer is C. 7xy^2 - 2xy^2

8xy^2 - 3xy^2
Subtract
Final Answer: 5xy^2

7xy^2 - 2xy^2
Subtract
Final Answer: 5xy^2

The answer is C because both expression's results match.

Answer 2

8xy^2 - 3xy^2 = 5xy^2

7xy^2 - 2xy^2 = 5xy^2
