Explanation:

We know that Frank has 2 gardens, one with y vegetable seeds and another with 3y + 8 vegetable seeds. If we are trying to find the total amount of seeds planted, we must add the 2 gardens together:

Garden 1: y

Garden 2: 3y + 8

Garden 1 + Garden 2 = Total veggie seeds

y + 3y + 8 = Total veggie seeds

Total veggie seeds = 4y + 8
