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

Starting with the equation:

\[ 5y = 20x + 8 \]

After subtracting 8 from both sides, the equation becomes:

\[ 5y - 8 = 20x \]

To rewrite the equation in terms of \( x \), Tilda needs to isolate \( x \) on one side.

To do this, she can divide both sides of the equation by 20. So, the number she should divide both sides by is:

\[ 20 \]

Therefore, the answer is 20.
