Answer:

B:  -8y + 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with (-3y-x)-(5y-8x).  This is a subtraction problem.  Subtract 5y from -3y, obtaining -8y.  Next, subtract -8x from -x; this is equivalent to  -x - (-8x), or 7x.

Then the difference -x + 8x = 7x.

Combining the x and y results, we get   B:  -8y + 7x.
