Answer:

I will provide the steps below.

Explanation:

First, You will need to plug in the 8.

2(8)-(1/-3)=-5

Multiply

16-(-1/3)=-5

If we have two negitive it turns into possitive.

16+1/3=-5

16+1/3=-5

This statement is not true becuase if y=8 the equation will be (16+1/3)=5

*Make sure your giving me the right eqution otherwise this statment is false.*
