Which expression is equivalent to 10-8 ? Choose 1 answer: (A) 8-10 (B) 10-(-8) (c) 10+(-8) (D) -8-10

Understand the problem: Understand the problem. We need to find an expression that is equivalent to the subtraction of 8 from 10.Analyze choices: Analyze the given choices. (A) 8-10 is not equivalent to 10-8 because the order of subtraction matters. (B) 10-(-8) is equivalent to 10+8, which is not the same as 10-8. (C) 10+(-8) is the same as 10-8 because adding a negative number is the same as subtracting the positive number. (D) -8-10 is not equivalent to 10-8 because it represents subtracting 10 from -8, not 8 from 10.Choose correct answer: Choose the correct answer. From the analysis in Step 2, we can see that option (C) 10+(-8) is equivalent to 10-8.
