3x+y=8
y=8-3x
5x+3(8-3x)=8
5x+24-9x=8
-4x+24=8
-4x=-16
x=4
5x+3y=8
5(4)+3y=8
20+3y=8
3y=-12
Y=-4
5x+3y=8
5(4)+3(-4)=8
20+-12=8
8=8
The answer is: " x = 11 ¼ " ; or write as: " x = 11.25 " .

Explanation:
_________________________________________________
(40*9) ÷ (4*8) = x ; Solve for "x" ;
(40 * 9 = 360) .
(4 * 8 = 32) .
(360) ÷ (32) = 45/4 = 11 ¼ ; or write as: 11.25 .

Answer:
Just like multiplication is adding the same number multiple times, dividing can be described as subtracting the same number multiple times.
Ex:
4 x 3 = 12
4 + 4 + 4 = 12
8/2 = 4
8 -2 -2 = 4
y = -8
y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
since m = 0, the term mx = 0
since the line passes throug (7, -8) then y = -8
