Question

for each value of y, determine whether it is a solution to 8 = y ÷ 5.

y	is it a solution?
35	∘ (yes)	∘ (no)
45	∘ (yes)	∘ (no)
50	∘ (yes)	∘ (no)

Explanation:

To determine if a value of \( y \) is a solution to \( 8 = \frac{y}{5} \), we can solve for \( y \) by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5.

Step 1: Solve the equation for \( y \)

Starting with \( 8 = \frac{y}{5} \), multiply both sides by 5:
\( 8 \times 5 = y \)
\( y = 40 \)

Step 2: Check each value of \( y \)

• For \( y = 25 \): \( \frac{25}{5} = 5

eq 8 \), so not a solution.

• For \( y = 35 \): \( \frac{35}{5} = 7

eq 8 \), so not a solution.

• For \( y = 45 \): \( \frac{45}{5} = 9

eq 8 \), so not a solution.

• For \( y = 50 \): \( \frac{50}{5} = 10

eq 8 \), so not a solution.

Answer:

\( y \)	Is it a solution?
35	No
45	No
50	No

(Note: The correct solution for \( y \) would be 40, which is not in the given list, so all provided \( y \)-values are not solutions.)
