5(y + 4) = -3y – 8+ 8y What mistake did Jared make if this equation actually has no solution?

Man this reminds me of 6th grade. Basically all you have to do is combine all the like terms. So you see things like 2x^2, 30y, -x, stuff like that. All you have to do is match it. Add all the Ys together, all tue Xs together, and X^2s together. Make sure to NOT combine X^s with X
