Answer:
Use the inverse operation to isolate the variable. Undo multiplication by dividing by 8 on both sides of the equation. Simplify by completing the divisions, 40 ÷ 8 = 5, and 8 ÷ 8 = 1. The solution is y = 5. Check the solution by substituting 5 for y in the original equation, and then simplify. 8 × 5 = 40 and 40 = 40 is a true statement, so 5 is the solution.
