Question

22 = 5(y – 8) please help me

Answer 1

62/5 or 12 2/5

Explanation:

22 = 5(y-8)

22 = 5y - 40

5y−40=22

Add 40 to both sides

5y−40+40=22+40

5y = 22+40

5y=62

Isolate the variable.

5y/5 = 62/5

Answer 2

y=12.4

Explanation:

22/5 is 4.4

so the numbers in the bracket must equal to 4.4

so y is 12.4
