  y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Recognize that 25 and 125 are powers of 5 and rewrite the equation in terms of powers of 5.

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

__

Your equation can be written as ...

Now this can be solved as an ordinary linear equation.

  8 = 8y . . . . . . add 5y to both sides

  1 = y . . . . . . . divide by 8

The solution is y = 1.
