    y = - 19/3 (decimal: y = - 6.333 ...)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    y - (6 - y) = 8 (y + 4)

    expand 2y - 6

    expand 8y + 32

    2y - 6 = 8y + 32

    add 6 to both sides

    2y - 6 + 6 = 8y + 32 + 6

    simplify

    2y = 8y + 38

    subtract 8y from both sides

    2y - 8y = 8y + 38 - 8y

    -6y = 38

    divide both sides by - 6

    -6y/-6 = 38/-6

    simplify

    y = - 19/3
