y^{2}-3y+18=y^{2}-10y+24
Use the distributive property to multiply y-6 by y-4 and combine like terms.
y^{2}-3y+18-y^{2}=-10y+24
Subtract y^{2} from both sides.
-3y+18=-10y+24
Combine y^{2} and -y^{2} to get 0.
-3y+18+10y=24
Add 10y to both sides.
7y+18=24
Combine -3y and 10y to get 7y.
7y=24-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
7y=6
Subtract 18 from 24 to get 6.
y=\frac{6}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
