What is
5y+3=4y+8=146

y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for (5y+3)+(4y+8)=146 equation:

Simplifying

(5y + 3) + (4y + 8) = 146

Reorder the terms:

(3 + 5y) + (4y + 8) = 146

Remove parenthesis around (3 + 5y)

3 + 5y + (4y + 8) = 146

Reorder the terms:

3 + 5y + (8 + 4y) = 146

Remove parenthesis around (8 + 4y)

3 + 5y + 8 + 4y = 146

Reorder the terms:

3 + 8 + 5y + 4y = 146

Combine like terms: 3 + 8 = 11

11 + 5y + 4y = 146

Combine like terms: 5y + 4y = 9y

11 + 9y = 146

Solving

11 + 9y = 146

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-11' to each side of the equation.

11 + -11 + 9y = 146 + -11

Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0

0 + 9y = 146 + -11

9y = 146 + -11

Combine like terms: 146 + -11 = 135

9y = 135

Divide each side by '9'.

y = 15
