40=5y-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40 will be divided by 5 to isolate the y. You will have 8=y-8. Add the 8 to the left and you will have 16=y

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

40=5y-8 Adding +8 to both sides 48 = 5 y y = 48/5

Thanks I caught that. I got the answer right though. It turned out to be 9 and 3 fourths. Thank you both! (:

OpenStudy (wolf1728):
