6%28y%2B9%29=-2y%2B6 Start with the given equation.


6y%2B54=-2y%2B6 Distribute.


6y=-2y%2B6-54 Subtract 54 from both sides.


6y%2B2y=6-54 Add 2y to both sides.


8y=6-54 Combine like terms on the left side.


8y=-48 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-48%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate y.


y=-6 Reduce.
