The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of subtracting \( a(b - 5) \) from \( b(5 - a) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Expression We need to subtract \( a(b - 5) \) from \( b(5 - a) \). This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ b(5 - a) - a(b - 5) \] ### Step 2: Expand the First Expression Now, we will expand \( b(5 - a) \): \[ b(5 - a) = b \cdot 5 - b \cdot a = 5b - ab \] ### Step 3: Expand the Second Expression Next, we will expand \( a(b - 5) \): \[ a(b - 5) = a \cdot b - a \cdot 5 = ab - 5a \] ### Step 4: Substitute the Expanded Expressions Now we substitute the expanded expressions back into the original subtraction: \[ (5b - ab) - (ab - 5a) \] ### Step 5: Distribute the Negative Sign Distributing the negative sign across the second expression gives us: \[ 5b - ab - ab + 5a \] ### Step 6: Combine Like Terms Now, we will combine like terms: - The \( ab \) terms: \( -ab - ab = -2ab \) - The constant terms: \( 5b + 5a \) Putting it all together, we have: \[ 5a + 5b - 2ab \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final result of subtracting \( a(b - 5) \) from \( b(5 - a) \) is: \[ 5a + 5b - 2ab \] ---
