3y-2 = 6y-3
3y = 6y-3+2
3y = 6y-1
1 = 6y-3y
3y = 1
y = 1/3

To solve for the variable in problems like these, we simply need to isolate all terms of the variable and simplify the values. We can do this by performing the opposite operations of what is there.

3y-2=6y-3
-3y -3y
-2=3y-3
+3 +3
1=3y
/3 /3
1/3=y

Using the math above, we can see that y=1/3 or 0.3 repeating.
