-1.6 + 12y = (-0.2 * 8 + 9y * 8)
-1.6 + 12y = (-1.6 + 72y)

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + 1.6 + 12y = -1.6 + 1.6 + 72y

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 12y = -1.6 + 1.6 + 72y
12y = -1.6 + 1.6 + 72y

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
12y = 0.0 + 72y
12y = 72y

Solving
12y = 72y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-72y' to each side of the equation.
12y + -72y = 72y + -72y

Combine like terms: 12y + -72y = -60y
-60y = 72y + -72y

Combine like terms: 72y + -72y = 0
-60y = 0

Divide each side by '-60'.
y = 0.0

Simplifying
y = 0.0
