I have worked the problem as below but I don't understand the rest. Please assist with the missing steps.
6(y/6) = 6(y + 5)
y - 6y = 6y + 30
+ 6y 6y
------------------
1y = 12y + 30
-1y -1y
------------------
0 = 11y + 30

Solve:
y%2F6+=+y%2B5 Multiply both side by 6.
6%28y%2F6%29+=+6%28y%2B5%29 Simplify.
y+=+6y+%2B+30 The 6's on the left side cancel, leaving just y. Subtract 30 from both sides of the equation.
y-30+=+6y Subtract y from both sides.
-30+=+5y Divide both sides by 5.
-6+=+y or y+=+-6
