Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Frank has 2 gardens, one with <em>y</em> vegetable seeds and another with 3<em>y</em> + 8 vegetable seeds. If we are trying to find the <em>total</em> amount of seeds planted, we must add the 2 gardens together:
Garden 1: <em>y</em>
Garden 2: 3<em>y</em> + 8
Garden 1 + Garden 2 = Total veggie seeds
<em>y</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 8 = Total veggie seeds
Total veggie seeds = 4y + 8
