Question

Give first the step you will use to seperate variable and then solve the equstion:-
a) 8y=36​

Answer 1

4.5

Explanation:

In order to solve this you want to isolate the variable, by doing the inverse operation.

`(8y)/(8) = (36)/(8)`

Why is it division? 8y means 8*y so the inverse or opposite of multiplication is division.

Now you have

`y = (36)/(8)`

because the 8's cancel out.

36/8 = 4.5

You dont always have to simplify it, but you can if you choose to or if your teacher wants you to.
