2\left(2y+1\right)-3\left(y-4\right)=6+5y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2,6.
4y+2-3\left(y-4\right)=6+5y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2y+1.
4y+2-3y+12=6+5y
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by y-4.
y+2+12=6+5y
Combine 4y and -3y to get y.
y+14=6+5y
Add 2 and 12 to get 14.
y+14-5y=6
Subtract 5y from both sides.
-4y+14=6
Combine y and -5y to get -4y.
-4y=6-14
Subtract 14 from both sides.
-4y=-8
Subtract 14 from 6 to get -8.
y=\frac{-8}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
y=2
Divide -8 by -4 to get 2.
