Answer:
The number is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\sf \text{Quotient of y and 8 = $\dfrac{y}{8}$}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \text{Two more than $\dfrac{y}{8}$ = $\dfrac{y}{8}+2$}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \dfrac{y}{8}+2=7\\\\\text{Subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{y}{8}+2-2=7-2\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{y}{8}=5\\[/tex]
Now, multiply both sides by 8
[tex]8*\dfrac{y}{8}=5*8\\[/tex]
y = 40
