Please help me

Explain how to solve the equation and how to check the
solution.


40 = 8y

Answer 1

Use the inverse operation to isolate the variable. Undo multiplication by dividing by 8 on both sides of the equation. Simplify by completing the divisions, 40 ÷ 8 = 5, and 8 ÷ 8 = 1. The solution is y = 5. Check the solution by substituting 5 for y in the original equation, and then simplify. 8 × 5 = 40 and 40 = 40 is a true statement, so 5 is the solution.

Answer 2

Answer:y=5

Explanation:

To find out what y is you have to do the inverse to 'undo' the equation.

So instead of multiplying y by 8 you have to divide 40 by 8.

40÷8=5

So y=5

You can check your answer by putting 5 where y is.

40=8×5

Hope this helps :)
