3%28y-4%29=-2%28y%2B6%29 Start with the given equation.


3y-12=-2y-12 Distribute.


3y=-2y-12%2B12 Add 12 to both sides.


3y%2B2y=-12%2B12 Add 2y to both sides.


5y=-12%2B12 Combine like terms on the left side.


5y=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%280%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate y.


y=0 Reduce.
