6\left(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}\right)y+4-y=6
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,6.
6\left(\frac{2}{6}+\frac{1}{6}\right)y+4-y=6
Least common multiple of 3 and 6 is 6. Convert \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{6} to fractions with denominator 6.
6\times \frac{2+1}{6}y+4-y=6
Since \frac{2}{6} and \frac{1}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
6\times \frac{3}{6}y+4-y=6
Add 2 and 1 to get 3.
6\times \frac{1}{2}y+4-y=6
Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
\frac{6}{2}y+4-y=6
Multiply 6 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{6}{2}.
3y+4-y=6
Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.
2y+4=6
Combine 3y and -y to get 2y.
2y=6-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
2y=2
Subtract 4 from 6 to get 2.
y=\frac{2}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=1
Divide 2 by 2 to get 1.
