Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\large{-4q-(-8q)+10}
-4q-(-8q)+10 is equivalent to \boxed{4q + 10}.
To combine like terms, we need to simplify the given expression:
Starting with \(-4q\):
Since we have \(-(-8q)\), we can rewrite it as \(+8q\).
Thus, we can combine \(-4q\) and \(+8q\) to get \(4q\).
Adding the remaining \(+10\) to the simplified \(4q\), the final equivalent expression is \(4q+10\).
To combine the like terms and simplify the expression, we need to apply the following steps:
Step 1: Distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the parentheses:
\(-(-8q) = +8q\)
After this step, the expression becomes:
\(-4q+8q+10\)
Step 2: Combine the like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients of the same variable:
\((-4q+8q) = 4q\)
After this step, the final simplified expression becomes:
\(4q+10\)
