GIVEN:

We are given the following expression;


-x+10

Required;

To find the value of this expression subtracted from 0.

Step-by-step solution;

To subtract the expression from zero, we re-write as follows;


\begin{gathered} 0-(-x+10) \\ \end{gathered}

Note at this point that a negative times a negative results in a positive.

That is,


\begin{gathered} -*(-)=+ \\ \\ Also; \\ \\ -*(+)=- \end{gathered}

Therefore, we simplify as follows;


\begin{gathered} 0-(-x+10) \\ \\ =0+x-10 \\ \\ =x-10 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answer is option C

ANSWER:


C:x-10
