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
