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.
