8\times 7+8y\times \frac{1}{8}=5
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 8y, the least common multiple of y,8,8y.
56+8y\times \frac{1}{8}=5
Multiply 8 and 7 to get 56.
56+y=5
Multiply 8 and \frac{1}{8} to get 1.
y=5-56
Subtract 56 from both sides.
y=-51
Subtract 56 from 5 to get -51.
