Identify equation: Identify the equation to solve. The equation given is 8y=48. We need to find the value of y.
Isolate y: To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. To do this, we will divide both sides of the equation by 8, the coefficient of y.
Perform division: Perform the division on both sides of the equation. 8y/8=48/8.
Simplify equation: Simplify both sides of the equation. y=6.
Check solution: Check the solution by substituting the value of y back into the original equation. 8×6=48. Since this is a true statement, our solution is correct.
