Answer 2

Given data: The sum of a number y and 3 is 8.

To Find: The equation for the statement, the sum of a number y and 3 is 8.

Solution:

• The sum of a number is to add the two numbers.
• Addition is an arithmetic operation.
• Here the given statement is, the sum of a number y and 3 is 8.
• The addition of two values y and 3 will give the resultant value 8.
• The sum of a number can be written as $y+3$.
• Since, the sum of the number is 8, it can be written as $y+3=8$.
• The statement, the sum of a number y and 3 is 8 defines (a) $y+3=8$.
