6y+y-8=5y
Variable y cannot be equal to 8 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y-8.
7y-8=5y
Combine 6y and y to get 7y.
7y-8-5y=0
Subtract 5y from both sides.
2y-8=0
Combine 7y and -5y to get 2y.
2y=8
Add 8 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
y=\frac{8}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=4
Divide 8 by 2 to get 4.
