Tilda writes the equation 5y=20x+8 . She wants to rewrite the equation in terms of x . After subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation, what number should she divide both sides of the equation by in order to accomplish this goal?(1 point)

Answer 1

Starting with the equation:

$$5y=20x+8$$

Tilda first subtracts 8 from both sides:

$$5y-8=20x$$

To rewrite the equation in terms of $x$, Tilda needs to isolate $x$. Therefore, she should divide both sides by $20$:

$$x=\frac{5y-8}{20}$$

Thus, the number she should divide both sides of the equation by in order to solve for $x$ is 20.
