Answer:

It should be 7.

Explanation:

If y = 4 multiply 2 by 4 equals eight, then you have 8x-8=48. Do the opposite of subtraction to both sides the 8 cancels on the left side add 8 to 48 you get 56 now all you have to is get x by it self to get that do the opposite of multiplication divide both sides by 8 and you should get 7.
