Question

how do i find y in this equation: 5y/4 = 10

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5y}{4} = 10$

$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5y}{4} = \frac{4}{5} \times 10$

$\frac{1}{5} \times 5y = \frac{4}{5} \times 10$

$y = \frac{4}{5} \times 10$

$y = 4 \times 2$

$\boxed{\green{y = 8}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

We move all terms to the left:

5y/4-(10)=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

5y-10*4=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5y-40=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

5y=40

y=40/5
