Answer 1

y=4/3-x/6

Step-by-step explanation:

6y/6+x/6=8/6

y+x/6=4/3

-x/6 -x/6

y=4/3-x/6

Answer 2

$\text{Solve for y:}\\\\6y+x=8\\\\\text{Subtract x from both sides}\\\\6y=-x+8\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 6}\\\\y=-\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{8}{6}\\\\\text{Simplify}\,\,\frac{8}{6}\\\\\boxed{y=-\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{4}{3}}$
