2x + 2y should be added to 3x + 6y to get 5x + 8y
Solution:
Given, two expressions are 3x + 6y and 5x + 8y.
We have to find what should be added to 3x + 6y, such that it becomes 5x + 8y.
Now, let the expression which should be added be "n"
According to the given information, (3x + 6y) + n = 5x + 8y
n = 5x + 8y – (3x + 6y)
n = 5x + 8y – 3x – 6y
n = (5x – 3x) + (8y – 6y)
n = 2x + 2y
Hence, 2x + 2y should be added to 3x + 6y to get 5x + 8y.
