I apologize for the error in my previous response. The correct equivalent expression for (7x+8)-(3x+5) is:

(7x + 8) - (3x + 5) = 7x + 8 - 3x - 5
= 7x - 3x + 8 - 5
= 4x + 3

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 4x + 3.
false its b
Apologies for the confusion. Let's double-check the calculation:

(7x + 8) - (3x + 5) = 7x + 8 - 3x - 5
= 7x - 3x + 8 - 5
= 4x + 3

The simplified form of (7x + 8) - (3x + 5) is 4x + 3, not 10x + 14.

Therefore, the correct equivalent expression for (7x+8)-(3x+5) is C. 4x + 3. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
