Full solution

Q. Solve the equation.\newliney8=5 \frac{y}{8}=5 \newliney= y=
  1. Multiply by 88: To solve for yy, we need to isolate yy on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 88.(y8)×8=5×8(\frac{y}{8}) \times 8 = 5 \times 8
  2. Simplify both sides: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation. On the left side, the 88 in the numerator and the 88 in the denominator cancel each other out, leaving us with yy. On the right side, we multiply 55 by 88.\newliney=40y = 40
