Verified Answer :

x - 8y - (2x - 4y) =
x - 8y -2x + 4y =
-1x - 4y........B = -4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

\((x-8y)-(2x-4y)\)

Simplifying the above given expression, we get

\(x-8y-2x-4y\)

\(x-2x-8y+4y\)

\(-x-4y\)

which is the required simplified form.

Now, comparing the above simplified form of the expression with \(Ax+By\), we get

\(A=-1\) and \(B=-4\)

Therefore, the value of B is \(-4\).
