Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

divide both sides by 3

$\begin{gathered} 3(3y-8)=30 \\ (3(3y-8))/(3)=(30)/(3) \\ 3y-8=10 \end{gathered}$

Step 2

add 8 in both sides

$\begin{gathered} 3y-8=10 \\ 3y-8+8=10+8 \\ 3y=18 \end{gathered}$

Step 3

finally, divide both sides by 3

$\begin{gathered} 3y=18 \\ (3y)/(3)=(18)/(3) \\ y=6 \end{gathered}$

I hope this helps you
