Answer:

The value of y is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

\(log_{11}(y+8)+log_{11}4=log_{11}60\)

\(log_{11}[(y+8)4]=log_{11}60\)               \([\because log_ax+log_ay=log_axy]\)

\(log_{11}(4y+32)=log_{11}60\)

Equating both sides.

\(4y+32=60\)

\(4y=60-32\)

\(4y=28\)

Divide both sides by 4.

\(y=7\)

Therefore the value of y is 7.
