Answer:
(A) x + 3y - 10
Explanation:
Algebraic Expressions
This Questions tests on the concept of solving algebraic expressions.
Eg. 7x + 4y + 3y + 9x = 16x + 7y
(Note that BODMAS rule applies to algebraic expressions as well.)
Solution
Given from the question:
5x + 8 - 13y - 4x - 18 + 16y
= 5x - 4x - 13y + 16y + 8 - 18 (Regroup the terms)
= x + 3y - 10 (A)
