y^{2}+9y+18=y^{2}+2y+8y+10
Combine 6y and 3y to get 9y.
y^{2}+9y+18=y^{2}+10y+10
Combine 2y and 8y to get 10y.
y^{2}+9y+18-y^{2}=10y+10
Subtract y^{2} from both sides.
9y+18=10y+10
Combine y^{2} and -y^{2} to get 0.
9y+18-10y=10
Subtract 10y from both sides.
-y+18=10
Combine 9y and -10y to get -y.
-y=10-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
-y=-8
Subtract 18 from 10 to get -8.
y=8
Multiply both sides by -1.
