You have the following equation:

-8(y -7) = 2y + 6

In order to solve for y, proceed as follow:

-8(y -7) = 2y + 6 expand the factor right side

-8y + 56 = 2y + 6 subtract 2y and subtract 56 both sides

-8y - 2y = 6 - 56 simplify

-10y = -50 divide by -10 both sides

y = -50/(-10)

y = 5

Hence, the value of y is 5
