Which expression matches the statement "Subtract the sum of 5x and 3x from 12y”?
5x + 3x−12y
5x + 3x+12y
12y−8x
12y−5x+3x
Sum of 5x and 3x = 5x+3x=8x Thus, subtracting the sum of 5x and 3x from 12y gives us 12y−(5x+3x)=12y−8x.
Which expression matches the statement "add 5x and 3x and then subtract the so obtained result from 12y”?
