We need to fill in the two blanks in a way that makes the entire expression equal to 10. The final value of 10 indicates that we need to move backwards from this value. The only option that leads to 10 when we move backwards is option C.
 
8 ∙ 5 - 3 ∙ 10 = -2
 
So, the missing numbers in the original expression are 8 and -2 which gives us: 
 
8 ∙ 5 ÷ 3 - 2 ∙ 10 = 10
