The answer is x=-4y/5 +8
I'll assume that the "shaded area" is defined by the x- and y-axes and the line 5x+4y=40 (and therefore is in Quadrant I only).  It's triangular.  One of the legs rests upon the x-axis, and x ranges from 0 to 8.  The other leg rests upon the y-axis, and y ranges from 0 to 10.

Let's use the disk method to determine the volume of the solid generated if this area is revolved around the x-axis.  Since 5x+4y=40, 4y=40-5x, and y = 10-(5/4)x.  Imagine "slices" of this solid that are perpendicular to the x-axis and that have the radius y = r = y = 10-(5/4)x.

Then the area of any such slice is pi*r^2, or pi*(10-5x/4)^2.  The thickness of each slice is dx.  Thus, the volume of each slice is dv = pi*(10-5x/4)^2 dx.

Integrate this from x=0 to x=8 to determine the total volume of the solid.  The result of integration is V = (266 2/3) pi, or 800pi/3.  This is the vol. of the solid.
