To solve the equation, you need to isolate/get "y" by itself in the equation:
3y - 4 = 6 - 2y Add 2y on both sides
3y + 2y - 4 = 6 - 2y + 2y
5y - 4 = 6 Add 4 on both sides
5y - 4 + 4 = 6 + 4
5y = 10 Divide 5 on both sides
[tex]\frac{5y}{5} =\frac{10}{5}[/tex]
y = 2
PROOF
3y - 4 = 6 - 2y Substitute/plug in 2 for y
3(2) - 4 = 6 - 2(2)
6 - 4 = 6 - 4
2 = 2
