-6x + 2y = 8
isolate the y
first add 6x to both sides
2y = 6x + 8
then divide everything by 2 to isolate the y
y = 3x + 4

Hope this helps

Answer:


y = 3x+4

Explanation:


−6x + 2y = 8

To solve for y we need to get y alone

To isolate 2y we eliminagte -6x, add 6x on both sides


−6x+6x + 2y = 8+6x


2y = 6x+8

To get y alone , we need to eliminate 2 from y

Divide both sides by 2


y = 3x+4
