For this problem, we are solving for y. That means we need to get y to one side of the equation.

First we need to distribute 4 to 8-y.

32 - 4y = 2y + 16

Now we can add -4y to both sides of the equation.

32 = 6y + 16

Now we subtract 16 from both sides.

16= 6y

Finally we divide by 6 on both sides.

y = 6/16

reduced

y = 3/8
