Solve:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-2+=+%281%2F3%29%28y%2B6%29\"$ Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y-6+=+y%2B6\"$ Subtract y from both sides of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y-6+=+6\"$ Add 6 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y+=+12\"$ Divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+6\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
