what is the solution of an equation 8+1/5y=1

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Dear Liri: Do you mean 1/(5y) or (1/5)y? That makes a big difference. Please clarify.

(1/5)y

can u draw the question ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Thank you. Then your lowest common denominator is 5. Multiply your entire equation by 5. Does the equation now seem any easier to solve? Your task is to find the value of y that satisfies the original equation. Note that y cannot be zero.
