6+3\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)y-5y=6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2-\frac{3}{2}y.
6+\frac{3\left(-3\right)}{2}y-5y=6
Express 3\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) as a single fraction.
6+\frac{-9}{2}y-5y=6
Multiply 3 and -3 to get -9.
6-\frac{9}{2}y-5y=6
Fraction \frac{-9}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{9}{2} by extracting the negative sign.
6-\frac{19}{2}y=6
Combine -\frac{9}{2}y and -5y to get -\frac{19}{2}y.
-\frac{19}{2}y=6-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
-\frac{19}{2}y=0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
y=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -\frac{19}{2} is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.
