Question

The rule is X/5-8=Y What does Y equals to when X=20

Answer 1

Y= -4

Explanation:

According to the rules of GEMDAS, division precedes subtraction.

Substitute 20 into where X is in the equation, so it would look like:

20/5-8=Y

From here, simplify. 20/5 is 4. 4-8=-4

Here's how work would look like on my paper"

X/5-8=Y

20/5-8=Y

4-8=Y

Y=-4
