Question

What is 1/8y+17+2y-118 please

Answer 1

Answer:

(17y/8) - 101 or (17y - 808) / 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Please enclose the fractional coefficient 1/8 inside paretheses:

(1/8)y + 17 + 2y - 118.

Now combine like terms.  (1/8)y + 2y comes to (1/8)y + 16y/8 = (17/8)y.

We thus have (17/8)y + 17 - 118.  Leaving (17/8)y alone, evaluate 17 - 118:

(17y/8) - 101

You could leave your answer in this form, or combine the terms using the LCD 8:

17y - 808
