Question

Y-8/5 = 3 solve for y

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=23}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{y-8}{5}=3\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 5}\\\\5\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{y-8}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=5\cdot3\\\\y-8=15\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\y-8+8=15+8\\\\y=23$

Answer 2

Add 8/5 to both sides

Y = 3 + 8/5

Simplify 3 + 8/5 to 23/5

Y = 23/5
