Let's evaluate each expression to see which ones have a difference of 5:

A) -3 - (-8)

= -3 + 8 = 5

B) 0 - 2 - 3

= -5

C) 0 - (1 - 4)

= 0 - (-3) = 3

D) 0 - 7 - (-2)

= -5

hope this helps :)

The expressions that have a difference of 5 are A) -3 - (-8) and D) 0 - 7 - (-2).

Final answer:

To find the expressions that have a difference of 5, you need to evaluate each expression and see if the result is equal to 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the expressions that have a difference of 5, we need to evaluate each expression and see if the result is equal to 5.

  1. -3 - (-8): The double negative becomes a positive, so this expression simplifies to -3 + 8 = 5.
  2. 0 - 2 - 3: We perform the subtraction from left to right, so 0 - 2 - 3 = -2 - 3 = -5. This expression does not have a difference of 5.
  3. 0 1 - 4: There appears to be a typo as there is an extra space between the numbers. Assuming it is a subtraction sign, 0 - 1 - 4 = -1 - 4 = -5. This expression does not have a difference of 5.
  4. 07 - (-2): The double negative becomes a positive, so this expression simplifies to 7 + 2 = 9. This expression does not have a difference of 5.

Therefore, the expressions that have a difference of 5 are A) -3 - (-8) and C) 0 1 - 4.
