y-6-3y+18+2=0
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by y-6.
-2y-6+18+2=0
Combine y and -3y to get -2y.
-2y+12+2=0
Add -6 and 18 to get 12.
-2y+14=0
Add 12 and 2 to get 14.
-2y=-14
Subtract 14 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
y=\frac{-14}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=7
Divide -14 by -2 to get 7.
