how do you get y by itself

By doing some or all of the following 

1. adding the same things to both sides
2. multiplying both sides by the same thing
3. collecting like terms 
4. factoring out y
5. dividing both sides by the coefficient of y.

Then post a problem where you are asked to get y by itself.
