Answer:

y = 16

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

4*(8+y)-(96)=0

4 • (y + 8) - 96 = 0

Pull out like factors :

4y - 64 = 4 • (y - 16)

4 • (y - 16) = 0

Solve : 4 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve : y - 16 = 0

Add 16 to both sides of the equation :

y = 16

Given

4(8 + y) = 96 ( divide both sides by 4 )
