Question

Sole the equation.
Y/8=5

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{y=40}`

Explanation:

`METHOD\ 1:\\\\(y)/(8)=5\qquad|\text{multiply both sides by 8}\\\\8\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot(y)/(8\!\!\!\!\diagup)=5\cdot8\\\\y=40\\\\METHOD\ 2:\\\\(y)/(8)=5\\\\(y)/(8)=(5)/(1)\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\(y)(1)=(8)(5)\\\\y=40`

Answer 2

`(y)/(8) = 5 \\ y = 8 * 5 \\ y = 40`
