5y+y+2y=8y
just add the numeric values since all of the given have the same variable, which is Y...
for the + Y, take the numeric part as 1, thus
5 + 1 + 2= 8 (affix the variable and you'll get 8y)

so simple,
5y+y+2y=?
take " y " as common in all the terms.
y(5+1+2)
add the terms which is inside the brackets.
it gives ans as y(8) i.e., 8y
so 5y+y+2y=8y

8y. When adding terms at the same power(in this case the first power), simply add the coefficients. 5 + 1 + 2 = 8

All terms are alike.
So- 5y + 1y + 2y = 8y

8y
These are all factors of y. Since y is common you can just add the beginning terms.
Or, you can factor out the y to get ( 5 + 1 + 2 )y = 8y
Its all the same. Good luck

8y of course ! when adding like terms such as these you just add the numerical coefficients

Look at it simply,..........What is the sum of
5 apples + an apple + 2 apples, (easy as pie) 8 apples

8y. These are all like-terms, so you can add them together.
