3y^{2}-6y=4-6y
Use the distributive property to multiply 3y by y-2.
3y^{2}-6y+6y=4
Add 6y to both sides.
3y^{2}=4
Combine -6y and 6y to get 0.
y^{2}=\frac{4}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
y=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} y=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
3y^{2}-6y=4-6y
Use the distributive property to multiply 3y by y-2.
3y^{2}-6y-4=-6y
Subtract 4 from both sides.
3y^{2}-6y-4+6y=0
Add 6y to both sides.
3y^{2}-4=0
Combine -6y and 6y to get 0.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 3\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 3}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 3 for a, 0 for b, and -4 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 3\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 3}
Square 0.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{-12\left(-4\right)}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -4 times 3.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{48}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -12 times -4.
y=\frac{0±4\sqrt{3}}{2\times 3}
Take the square root of 48.
y=\frac{0±4\sqrt{3}}{6}
Multiply 2 times 3.
y=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
Now solve the equation y=\frac{0±4\sqrt{3}}{6} when ± is plus.
y=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
Now solve the equation y=\frac{0±4\sqrt{3}}{6} when ± is minus.
y=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} y=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
The equation is now solved.
