Which expression has the same value as 8x+(-2y) ? -2y+(-8x) 2y-8x -8x+(-2y) 8x-2y

Identify Given Expression: Identify the given expression and the options to compare. Given expression: 8x + (-2y) Options to compare: A) -2y + (-8x) B) 2y - 8x C) -8x + (-2y) D) 8x - 2yCompare with Option A: Compare the given expression with option A. Given expression: 8x + (-2y) Option A: -2y + (-8x) Check if the terms in option A are equivalent to the terms in the given expression. The terms -2y and (-2y) are equivalent, and the terms -8x and 8x are opposites, not equivalent. Therefore, option A is not equivalent to the given expression.Compare with Option B: Compare the given expression with option B. Given expression: 8x + (-2y) Option B: 2y - 8x Check if the terms in option B are equivalent to the terms in the given expression. The terms 2y and (-2y) are opposites, not equivalent, and the terms -8x and 8x are opposites, not equivalent. Therefore, option B is not equivalent to the given expression.Compare with Option C: Compare the given expression with option C. Given expression: 8x + (-2y) Option C: -8x + (-2y) Check if the terms in option C are equivalent to the terms in the given expression. The terms -8x and 8x are opposites, not equivalent, and the terms (-2y) and (-2y) are equivalent. Therefore, option C is not equivalent to the given expression.

Identify Given Expression: Identify the given expression and the options to compare. $\newline$ Given expression: $8x + (-2y)$ $\newline$ Options to compare: $\newline$ A) $-2y + (-8x)$ $\newline$ B) $2y - 8x$ $\newline$ C) $-8x + (-2y)$ $\newline$ D) $8x - 2y$
Compare with Option A: Compare the given expression with option A. $\newline$ Given expression: $8x + (-2y)$ $\newline$ Option A: $-2y + (-8x)$ $\newline$ Check if the terms in option A are equivalent to the terms in the given expression. $\newline$ The terms $-2y$ and $(-2y)$ are equivalent, and the terms $-8x$ and $8x$ are opposites, not equivalent. $\newline$ Therefore, option A is not equivalent to the given expression.
Compare with Option B: Compare the given expression with option B. $\newline$ Given expression: $8x + (-2y)$ $\newline$ Option B: $2y - 8x$ $\newline$ Check if the terms in option B are equivalent to the terms in the given expression. $\newline$ The terms $2y$ and $(-2y)$ are opposites, not equivalent, and the terms $-8x$ and $8x$ are opposites, not equivalent. $\newline$ Therefore, option B is not equivalent to the given expression.
Compare with Option C: Compare the given expression with option C. $\newline$ Given expression: $8x + (-2y)$ $\newline$ Option C: $-8x + (-2y)$ $\newline$ Check if the terms in option C are equivalent to the terms in the given expression. $\newline$ The terms $-8x$ and $8x$ are opposites, not equivalent, and the terms $(-2y)$ and $(-2y)$ are equivalent. $\newline$ Therefore, option C is not equivalent to the given expression.
