Question

What is the solution to the equation?3y- 8/12=y/5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

We can find the solution to the expression below;

`(3y-8)/(12)=(y)/(5)`

Cross multiply

`\begin{gathered} 5(3y-8)=12y \\ 15y-40=12y \\ 15y-12y=40 \\ 3y=40 \\ y=(40)/(3) \\ \\ \end{gathered}`

Answer:

`y=(40)/(3)`
