Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To subtract, distribute the negative sign to every term inside the second set of parentheses, and then combine like terms.

(19x + 6xy - 13y)- (8x - 23xy - 16y) 
= 19x + 6xy - 13y - 8x + 23xy + 16y 
= 11x + 29xy + 3y

Therefore, the answer is choice A. To subtract, we distribute the negative sign to every term in the second equation. So, we get 19x + 6xy - 13y - 8x + 23xy + 16y. Combining like terms, we get 11x + 29xy + 3y. Therefore, the answer is A.
