Veronica attempted to solve the equation [tex]\(8 = y - 4.6\)[/tex]. Let's walk through her steps to confirm if she solved it correctly.

1. Setting Up:
- The initial equation is [tex]\(8 = y - 4.6\)[/tex]. This setup is correct.

2. Isolating [tex]\(y\)[/tex]:
- To isolate [tex]\(y\)[/tex], Veronica adds 4.6 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[ 8 + 4.6 = y - 4.6 + 4.6 \][/tex]
- Simplifying both sides gives:
[tex]\[ 12.6 = y \][/tex]
- This step is also correct.

3. Calculating:
- The calculation [tex]\(8 + 4.6 = 12.6\)[/tex] is correct.

Veronica correctly solved the equation without making any mistakes.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

(c) Veronica correctly solved the equation.
