Question 1

-8y=7y-5 direct variation or not

Question 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\huge\textbf{Equation: }$

$\mathbf{-8y = 7y - 5}$

$\huge\textbf{Solving for the equation:}$

$\mathbf{-8y = 7y - 5}$

$\mathbf{7y - 5 = -8y}$

$\huge\textbf{SUBTRACT 7y to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathbf{-8y - 7y = 7y - 5 - 7y}$

$\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}$

$\mathbf{-15y = -5}$

$\huge\textbf{DIVIDE -15 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathbf{(-15y)/(-15) = (-5)/(-15)}$

$\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}$

$\mathbf{y = (-5)/(-15)}$

$\mathbf{y = (-5/-5)/(-15/-5)}$

$\mathbf{y = (1)/(3)}$

$\huge\textbf{Met your answer:}$

$\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{y = (1)/(3)}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}$
