Question

8x - 5y = 30 Solve for y

Answer 1

The answer is y=8/5x-6

Answer 2

Answer:

y = -6 + $\frac{8x}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So you start off by subtracting 8x to the other side so now you'll have

-5y = 30 -8x

Next, you divide the -5 over so that y can be alone

y = $\frac{30-8x}{-5}$

When you simplify this, you'll get

y = -6 +  $\frac{8x}{5}$

because $\frac{30}{-5}$ is equal to -6 and since a negative divided by a negative is positive, that turns $\frac{-8x}{-5}$  into $\frac{8x}{5}$

leaving you with the answer of y = -6 + $\frac{8x}{5}$
