Think of it like this: you need to rearrange things so y is by itself on one side of the equation:

xy-8=k

First add 8 to both sides to get rid of the 8 on the y side:

xy-8+8=k+8

xy=k+8

Divide both sides by x to get y by itself:

(xy)/x=(k+8)/x

y=(k+8)/x

That's it. Just remember that you always add or subtract before multiplying or dividing.
