Answer:
y=7-(8/5)x
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for y we need to get Y on one side of the equation all by itself. To start we can move the 8x to the side with the 35 by subtracting 8x on both sides which gets us to 5y=35-8x then we just need to get the 5 detached from the y and we will have solved for Y. To do this we can divide by 5 on both sides to cancel out the 5 with the Y which leaves us with y=7-(8/5)x

Answer: x = 72
Step-by-step explanation: Although the problem is saying "X over 8", this really signifies that the <em>x</em> is being divided by 8 which is what a fraction is, numerator divided by a denominator.
Let's first undo what has been done. Since our variable is being divided by 8, we'll undo that by multiplying by 8 on both sides. It's important to remember, whatever you do on one side,
you <u><em>must</em></u> do to the other side.
If you look now, the 8 in the numerator and the 8 in the denominator will divide out and it will leave us with our variable which is <em>x</em>. Working on the other side now, 9 x 8 is equal to 72 so <em>x = 72</em> is our answer.
We can check our answer by plugging a 72 back into the original equation. So we have 72/8 = 9 which is a true statement
so our answer is correct.
