Solve 5y=y^28 - ScanMath

Evaluate

5 y = y^{2} \times 8

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

5 y = 8 y^{2}

Swap the sides

8 y^{2} = 5 y

Move the expression to the left side

8 y^{2} - 5 y = 0

Factor the expression

More Steps

y (8 y - 5) = 0

When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0

8 y - 5 = 0 y = 0

Solve the equation for y

More Steps

y = \frac{5}{8} y = 0

Solution

y_{1} = 0, y_{2} = \frac{5}{8}

Alternative Form

y_{1} = 0, y_{2} = 0.625
