B Correct answer
Explanation

To isolate y in y - 8 = 6, you must add 8 to both sides of the equation. This results in y = 6 + 8.

AI explanation

To isolate y using the elimination method, we must eliminate the constant term on the left side. Since the equation is y - 8 = 6, we add the additive inverse of -8 to both sides. Therefore, we must add +8 to the left side.
