1 answer

To solve for y we will first isolate y on one side of the equation by adding 4 to both sides and multiplying both sides by 4 to cancel the fraction:

8 = y/4 - 4

8 + 4 = y/4 - 4 + 4

12 = y/4

Next, we will multiply both sides by 4 to solve for y:

12 * 4 = y

48 = y

Therefore, the solution for y is 48.
