Answer:

-7/3

Explanation:

The first step is to combine like numbers. Although there are several different ways to go about doing this, I started by adding 2y to both sides which left me with -8-6y=6. I then added 8 to both sides and got 6y=14. Now divide 6 on both sides to get "y" by itself which left me with y = -14/6. When you simplify the answer you get -7/3.
