Write the following expression using the fewest possible terms:
(5 + 3/5 * y) + (1/4 * y - 2)
(1 point)
1/8 * y - 3
1/x * y + 3
5/8 * y - 3
5/8 * y + 3
The correct expression using the fewest possible terms is:
(5/8 * y) + 1

Apologies for the confusion. The correct expression using the fewest possible terms is:
5/8 * y + 3
(5 + 3/5 * y) + (1/4 * y - 2)
(3/5 +1/4) y + 3
(12/20 +5/20)y + 3
(17/20)y + 3
typo ?
Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct and there was a mistake in my previous response. Here is the revised expression using the fewest possible terms:
(5 + 3/5 * y) + (1/4 * y - 2) simplifies to:
(17/20)y + 3
