Answer 1

`y\text{ = -}(1)/(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve the given equation for y

The approach to this is to make sure we have equal bases on both sides

Thus, we have it that:

`8^(6y+4)=8^2`

From here, we have to equate the powers since we have same base on both sides

Thus, we have it that:

`\begin{gathered} 6y\text{ + 4 = 2} \\ 6y\text{ = 2-4} \\ 6y\text{ = -2} \\ y\text{ = -}(2)/(6)\text{ = -}(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`
