Answer:

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew should have subtracted 8 from both sides of the equation.  Instead he has subtracted 8 from the left side and added 8 to the right side.

The correct way to solve this problem is:

                                                   y + 8 = 15

subtract 8 from both sides:  y + 8 - 8 = 15 - 8

                                                         y = 7
