Question

Simplify. (5y + 9) + y 6y + 9 14 + y 14y 15y

Answer 1

The answer you are looking for is 6y + 9.

In the equations (5y + 9) + y, you'd combine like terms to find the answer. You aren't distributing anything into the parenthesis, and 5y and 9 are not like terms (since the 9 doesn't have a "y" after it). That being said, you simply add "y" and 5y together to get 6y, and add the 9 to the end. Thus getting 6y + 9 as an answer.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

A. 6y+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:

    ↓

$A(B+C)=AB+AC$

First, you remove parenthesis.

5y+9+y

Group like terms:

   ↓

5y+y+9

Then,  you add by similar into elements.

5y+y=6y

6y+9 is the correct answer.
