\frac{3}{5 y} + \frac{1}{5 y} = \frac{4}{5 y}

Whenever denominators are common (i.e. they are equal) to add two fractions we just add their numerators, while denominator remains same.
As such

\frac{3}{5 y} + \frac{1}{5 y} = \frac{3 + 1}{5 y} = \frac{4}{5 y}

\frac{3}{5 y} + \frac{1}{5 y}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a + b}{c}

= \frac{3 + 1}{5 y}

Add the numbers:

3 + 1 = 4

= \frac{4}{5 y}

\frac{3}{5 y} + \frac{1}{5 y}

Since

\frac{3}{5 y} and \frac{1}{5 y}

have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators. Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

\frac{4}{5 y}
