$\"6-y=-y%2B2\"$ Start with the given equation.

$\"-y=-y%2B2-6\"$ Subtract $\"6\"$ from both sides.

$\"-y%2By=2-6\"$ Add $\"y\"$ to both sides.

$\"0y=2-6\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.

$\"0y=-4\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"0=-4\"$ Simplify.

Since this equation is never true for any y value, this means that there are no solutions.
