Which of these is a simplified form of the equation 8y + 4 = 6 + 2y + 1y?

A.) 5y = 2

B.) 5y = 10

C.) 11y = 2

D.) 11y = 10

The first one would be the right one!

you just take all the y one side and the numbers on one side

so 8y+4 = 6+3y

now 8y-3y = 6-4

therefore 5y = 2

!

So, with this I'm pretty sure you have to get all variables and all normal numbers on the same sides SO if 8y+4=6+2y+1y, then you must get the 4 over to 6 so then the equation would be, 8y=-4+6+2y+1y and the 2y and 1y (or 3y) must change to the other side so then it would be 8y-3y=-4+6. Then you just simplify to 5y=2. Therefore, your answer is A.

Steps

8y+4=6+2y+1y

8y=-4+6+2y+1y

8y-3y=-4+6

∴ 5y=2
