Answer: See below

Explanation:

For this problem, we can either solve for y or solve for x. Let's do both.

First, we solve for y.


6y-1.5x=8 [add both sides by 1.5x]


6y=1.5x+8 [divide both sides by 6]


y=(1.5)/(6)x+(8)/(6)

Now, let's solve for x.


6y-1.5x=8 [subtract both sides by 6y]


-1.5x=-6y+8 [divide both sides by -1.5]


x=4y-(8)/(1.5)

I don't know what you are solving, but if you were to solve for x and y, that would be your answer.
