y= 1
Explanation:
Solve for y:
8x - 3 = 5 + 4y
8x = 4y + 5+3
Divide both sides by 8
x = 1÷2y + 1
plug into equation
8 (1÷2y +1) - 3 = 5 + 4y
Distribute
8÷2+ 8 - 3 = 5 + 4y
4 + 5 -5 = 4y
Combine like item
4 = 4y
divide both sides by 4
Isolate y first subtract 5 from both sides
Divide both sides by 4.
