Question

How do you solve `\frac{y}{8} + 80= 88`?

Answer 1

y = 64

Explanation:

First subtract 88 and 80.
88`-` 80 = 8

Then multiply 8 with 8.
8`times` 8 = 64
(That is because the opposite of division is multiplication. In order to bring the `1/8` to the other side of the equal sign, it must be the opposite)

y = 64
