Question

Please and thank you ????????

Answer 1

y=5

Let's see how we got this answer in steps together:

1) Locate which number has a variable. 

This number will be used to divide the other number so we could find y. 

2) We will be dividing 40 by 8

$40 = 8y$ to find y. 
$\frac{40}{8}$

3) Since 40 divided by 8 is 5 our answer is y = 5

Answer 2

Y is 5


$40 = 8y \\ y = \frac{40}{8} = 5$



good luck
