Answer:

These expressions are equivalent, as both of them simplify down to (4t - 3y).

Explanation:

In order to determine if (8t - 3y - 4t) is equivalent to (7t + (-3t) - 3y) one must simplify each equation. Combine like terms by performing the operations between the coefficients of the variables.

8t - 3y - 4t

= 4t - 3y

7t + (-3t) - 3y

= 7t - 3t - 3y

= 4t - 3y
