Question
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)

1 answer

To rewrite the equation \(5y = 20x + 8\) in terms of \(x\), Tilda first subtracts 8 from both sides:

\[ 5y - 8 = 20x \]

Next, to isolate \(x\), she needs to divide both sides by 20. Therefore, the number she should divide both sides of the equation by is 20.
