%281%2F2%29y=%281%2F3%29y%2B2 Start with the given equation.


6%28%281%2Fcross%282%29%29y%29=6%28%281%2Fcross%283%29%29y%2B2%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 6 to clear any fractions.


3y=2y%2B12 Distribute and multiply.


3y-2y=12 Subtract 2y from both sides.


y=12 Combine like terms on the left side.
