There is no solution.

The left side is always negative except of y = 1%2F2, where it is zero.

The right side is always positive except of y = 4, where it is zero.

There is no value of "y" where the left side could be equal to the right side.

The plot below illustrates it.




Figure. The plots y = -|3-6x| and y = |8-2x|.
