Question

-4.1=8(y-5) it says solve equation

Answer 1

Answer: See below

Explanation:
-4.1 = 8(y-5)
-4.1 = 8y - 40
-8y = -40 + 4.1
-8y = -35.9
Y = -35.9/-8
Y = 35.9/8

Answer 2

$\text{Solve for y:}\\\\-4.1=8(y-5)\\\\\text{Use the distributive property}\\\\-4.1=8y-40\\\\\text{Add 40 to both sides}\\\\35.9=8y\\\\\text{Divide by 8}\\\\\boxed{4.4875=y}$
