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
[tex] 40 = 8y
[/tex] to find y.
[tex]\frac{40}{8} [/tex]
3) Since 40 divided by 8 is 5 our answer is y = 5
