Question

8x - 5y = 30
Solve for y

Answer 1

y = -6 +
`(8x)/(5)`

Explanation:

So you start off by subtracting 8x to the other side so now you'll have

-5y = 30 -8x

Next, you divide the -5 over so that y can be alone

y =
`(30-8x)/(-5)`

When you simplify this, you'll get

y = -6 +
`(8x)/(5)`

because
`(30)/(-5)` is equal to -6 and since a negative divided by a negative is positive, that turns
`(-8x)/(-5)` into
`(8x)/(5)`

leaving you with the answer of y = -6 +
`(8x)/(5)`

Answer 2

The answer is y=8/5x-6
