    -5y + 3x (or) 3x - 5y

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -8y - (x-4x) + 3y

    Solve the problem in the parentheses first. (x-4x)

    -8y - (-3x) + 3y

    The problem within the parentheses is as simplified as we are going to get it. Now we can simplify the y values. (-8y + 3y)

    - (-3x) - 8y+3y

    - (-3x) - 5y

    Get our x value out of the parentheses now. - (-3x)

    - (-3x) = + 3x (two negatives makes a positive)

    This leaves us with our simplified equation.

    3x - 5y

    or

    -5y + 3x
