HELP ASAP I WILL MARK BRAINLEY

Explain how to solve the equation and how to check the solution. 40 = Sy​

Answer 1

y = 5

Explanation:

40 = 8y

divide both sides by 8, isolating y by itself:

40/8 = 8y/8

5 = y

rearrange the equation so the y is on the left side

y = 5

The answer is y = 5

We can check by plugging in y = 5 into the original equation:

40 = 8y

40 = 8(5)

40 = 40

correct
