Question

Which of these is a simplified form of the equation?

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

Group of answer choices

5y = 2

5y = 10

11y = 2

Answer 1

To simplify the equation \( 8y + 4 = 6 + 2y + 1y \), let's first combine like terms on the right side.

The right side simplifies as follows:

\[
2y + 1y = 3y
\]

So the equation now looks like this:

\[
8y + 4 = 6 + 3y
\]

Next, we will subtract \( 3y \) from both sides:

\[
8y - 3y + 4 = 6
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
5y + 4 = 6
\]

Now, we will subtract 4 from both sides:

\[
5y = 6 - 4
\]

This gives us:

\[
5y = 2
\]

Thus, the simplified form of the equation is:

\[
\boxed{5y = 2}
\]

So the correct answer is:

**5y = 2**.
