Answer:


y=8

Explanation:

Given the following question:


(y-2)/6=1

To find the answer we must remember we need to isolate the variable and get it by itself, first we need to rewrite the expression and solve by using inverse of operations.


(y-2)/6=1

((y-2))/(6) =1

6*0=0

1*6=6

(y-2)=6

-2+2=0

6+2=8

y=8

Your answer is "y = 8."

Hope this helps.
