To simplify the expression \(5i + 3i\), you can combine the like terms:

\[ 5i + 3i = (5 + 3)i = 8i. \]

So, the equivalent expression is:

**8i.**

I apologize for the misunderstanding! Let's evaluate the given options more carefully. The expression \(5i + 3i\) simplifies to \(8i\). Since you mentioned that \(8i\) isn't one of the provided options, let’s look at the choices you listed:

1. \(3i + 5i\)
2. \(8\)
3. \(-8i\)
4. \(8i^2\)

Among these options, \(3i + 5i\) is equivalent to \(8i\) since \(3i + 5i = 8i\).

If you can clarify which expressions you meant, I could offer more insight on the acceptable responses. Otherwise, the correct equivalent to \(5i + 3i\) based on the choices provided is:

**3i + 5i.**
