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, we have:

\[ 5y - 8 = 20x \]

Now, to isolate \( x \), we need to divide both sides by 20, since we want to express the equation in terms of \( x \). Thus, the number Tilda should divide both sides by is:

\[ 20 \]
