Answer:

(1)/(3)y+(8)/(3)y=(9)/(3)y

Explanation:

As the given expression

(1)/(3)y+(8)/(3)y=(9)/(3)y

Simplifying the left side of the expression

(1)/(3)y+(8)/(3)y

$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}y$

$=y\left((1)/(3)+(8)/(3)\right).....A$

Solving

(1)/(3)+(8)/(3)

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:(a)/(c)\pm (b)/(c)=(a\pm \:b)/(c)$

=(1+8)/(3)

$\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:1+8=9$

=(9)/(3)

so the equation A becomes

=(9)/(3)y

Therefore,

(1)/(3)y+(8)/(3)y=(9)/(3)y
