Question 151072


{{{(5/8)y-8=2}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8((5/cross(8))y-8)=8(2)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{8}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{5y-64=16}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{5y=16+64}}} Add {{{64}}} to both sides.



{{{5y=80}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(80)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=16}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{y=16}}}
