y:2-8=6

To solve the equation \( y:2 - 8 = 6 \), we first need to isolate \( y \).

1. Rewrite the equation to make it clearer: \[ \frac{y}{2} - 8 = 6 \]

2. Add 8 to both sides of the equation: \[ \frac{y}{2} = 6 + 8 \] \[ \frac{y}{2} = 14 \]

3. Now, multiply both sides by 2 to solve for \( y \): \[ y = 14 \times 2 \] \[ y = 28 \]

So, the solution is \( y = 28 \).
