3%282y-4%29-6=3y Start with the given equation.


6y-12-6=3y Distribute.


6y-18=3y Combine like terms on the left side.


6y=3y%2B18 Add 18 to both sides.


6y-3y=18 Subtract 3y from both sides.


3y=18 Combine like terms on the left side.


y=%2818%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y.


y=6 Reduce.
