3y+72=8y-40
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8.
3y+72-8y=-40
Subtract 8y from both sides.
-5y+72=-40
Combine 3y and -8y to get -5y.
-5y=-40-72
Subtract 72 from both sides.
-5y=-112
Subtract 72 from -40 to get -112.
y=\frac{-112}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{112}{5}
Fraction \frac{-112}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{112}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
