Question

for the question. 19. Solve this equation: 80 = 3y + 2y + 4 + 1. A. y = 15 B. y = 75 C. y = –15 D. y = 1/5

Answer 1

80 = 3y+ 2y+4+1
Simplfy like terms:
80 = 5y + 5
-5           -5
75 = 5y
5       5
y = 15 
The answer is A. hope this helps

Answer 2

$3y + 2y = 5y \\ 4 + 1 = 5 \\ 80 = 5y + 5 \\ 80 - 5 = 75 \\ 75 \div 5y = 15 \\ y = 15$
