Verified Answer :

the y is equal to 4
because 3 x 4 = 12
and 8 x 3 = 24 so
24 - 12 = 12

8(3) - 3y = 12

First, multiply 8 × 3 to get 24.
\(24 - 3y = 12\)
Second, subtract '24' from both sides.
\(-3y = 12 - 24\)
Third, subtract '12 - 24' to get '-12'.
\(-3y = -12\)
Fourth, divide both sides by '-3'.
\(y = \frac{-12}{-3}\)
Fifth, change the whole fraction to a negative.
\(y = \frac{12}{3}\)
Sixth, 12 ÷ 3 = 4. Simplify your fraction to 4.
\(y = 4\)

Answer: y = 4
