Answer:
y=(2)/(5), (6)/(5)

Explanation:

When answering a problem like this, you first isolate the absolute value. TO do this, first subtract 8 from both sides, to get –2|4–5y|=-4. Then divide both sides of the equation to get |4–5y|=2. The next thing you do is split the equation into 4-5y=2 and 4-5y=-2, because the contents of the absolute value could be negative or positive, and simplifying both into y = 2/5, and y = 6/5y.

Hope it helps <3
