\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{(1)/(8)y = 38}


\large\textsf{MULTIPLY 8 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{8 * (1)/(8)y = 8* 38}


\mathsf{Cancel\ out: 8 * (1)/(8)\ because\ that\ gives\ you\ 1}


\mathsf{Keep: \ 8*38\ because\ that\ helps\ you\ solve\ for\ your\ answer}


\mathsf{y = 8*38}


\mathsf{8*38 = \bf 304}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: \huge \bf y = 304}}}\huge\checkmark
