Question

What is the solution for 8y=-40 ( , )

Answer 1

8y = -40

/8      /8  divide by 8 on both sides

y = -5

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{y=-5}$

$\boxed{-5=y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Division property of equality- is a dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number it does not change the equation.

a÷c=b÷c for c≠0

Checking a solution.

1. First you had to rewrite the original equation

2. Then you substitute the value for the variable

3. Finally simplify.

First you had to divide by eight from both sides of an equation form.

$\frac{8y}{8}= \frac{-40}{8}$

$-40/8=-5$

$40/5=8$

$8*5=40$

$5*8=40$

Final answer: $\boxed{y=-5}$
