Answer:
Option B is correct
[tex]-3x - 4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify: [tex]-(8x+4)+5x[/tex] .....[1]
The Distributive property says that:
[tex]a\cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b+ a\cdot c[/tex]
Apply the distributive property in [1] we have;
[tex]-8x - 4 + 5x[/tex]
Like terms are those terms which have same variable to the same power.
[tex]-3x - 4[/tex]
Therefore, the simplified form of [tex]-(8x+4)+5x[/tex] is [tex]-3x - 4[/tex]
