So we have this equation 4(y-4)=8 and in order to find the value of y we need to remove the brackets first.

Multiply 4 with (y-4).

4y-16=8

Put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side. Every variable or number that will change sides will have its sign changed from a + into a - and vice versa.

4y=8+16

4y=24

Divide both sides with 4.

4y/4=24/4

y=6
