Apologies for the confusion. Let's break down the expression in option A:
2 + (-8) is equivalent to 2 - 8. When subtracting a positive number from another positive number, we simply subtract the numbers and keep the positive sign: 2 - 8 = -6.
The expression in option A simplifies to -6, not -10. Therefore, the correct expression simplified by the given number is:
c) 2 + -8 = -10
