4y-8=y-8
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by y-2.
4y-8-y=-8
Subtract y from both sides.
3y-8=-8
Combine 4y and -y to get 3y.
3y=-8+8
Add 8 to both sides.
3y=0
Add -8 and 8 to get 0.
y=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 3 is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.
