all you do is combine like terms and divide let me show you :)
6y+2y=16
Combine 6y and 2y since they have the same variables
8y=16
Now we divide 8y into 16
8y/8y=0
16/8y=2y
The answer will be 2y
Hoped this helped:)
y=2. First, add similar elements are: 6y+2y=8y. And it gave us 8y=16. Then, divide by 8 from both sides of equation. And it gave us [tex]\frac{8y}{8}= \frac{16}{8}[/tex]. And finally, simplify it gave us the answer is y=2 is the right answer. Hope this helps! Thank you for posting your question at here on brainly. Have a great day! -Charlie
