Question

What is 3y+5y=19

Please help

Answer 1

3y + 5y can be simplified to 8y because they have the same variable (y)

8y = 19

now you have to divide by 8 on each side

y= 19/8
or
y= 2.375

Answer 2

The answer is y = 19/8. This is because 3y + 5y = 19 then 8y = 19 then dividing both sides by 8 gives y = 19/8.
