Answer: 2p - 2q
Step-by-step explanation:
(3p-10q)-(p-8q) is simply an algebraic expression.
To solve it, you first open the brackets
i.e 3p - 10q - p + 8q (the minus sign between the brackets have multiplied the next minus sign, so it becomes plus sign)
Now, collect the like terms of i.e common terms
= 3p - 10q - p + 8q
= 3p - p - 10q + 8q
= 2p - 2q
Thus, the final expression is 2p - 2q since it cannot be further simplified.
