It's a simple linear equation in 'y'.  There is only one number that 'y' can be
that will make the equation a true statement.  That number is called the
'solution' to the equation.   Here's one way to find it:

You said that                          2  =  y/5 - 8

Add  8  to each side:          10  =  y/5

Multiply each side by  5:    50  =  y
