Problem 53
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$5 y+3+6 y$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified form of the given expression is: \(11y + 3\).
1Step 1: Identify Like Terms
The original expression is \(5y + 3 + 6y\). Here, the like terms are \(5y\) and \(6y\).Why are they like terms? Because they both have the same variable part 'y'.
2Step 2: Combine Like Terms
When you add together the coefficients (the numbers in front of the variable) for the like terms, the expression becomes \((5 + 6)y + 3\), which simplifies to \(11y + 3\).
