It's a simply problem take a look....
8y-6=5y+12 first get the y on the 1 side and the number or consistent on the other.
8y-6=5y+12
+6 +6
8y=5y+18
-5y 5y
3y = 18
divide 3
y = 6

Hon, you're posting a lot of Algebra questions. You must be stuck on homework, lol.
Anyway, let's take this step by step, hopefully you'll get it with my weak explanations.
Problem: 8y - 6 = 5y + 12
Now you need to cancel one of the number with the y variable. I'll do this because it's easier:
8y - 6 = 5y +12
-5y -5y
8 - 5 = 3 ; 5 - 5= 0
Now that you canceled the 5y with its opposite, you now got:
3y - 6 = 12
We need to set it in the "y = #" form. SO we need to cancel the constant with the 3y by doing the opposite.
3y - 6 = 12
+ 6 =+6
Remember, you can do almost anything to an equation, but you have to do the same on other.
3y = 18 because we canceled the 6.
Now we need to get it down to y = #. How? We divide whatever is with the y.
3y = 18
3/3 = y 18/3 = 6
So y = 6

8y-6=5y+12 subtract 5y from each side
3y-6=12 add 6 to each side
3y=18 divide by 3
y=6

8y-6=5y+12
(8-5)y = 12+6
3y = 18
y = 18/3
y = 6

Here's the answer and , more important, the method of solution.
We need to isolate terms with "y" on one side of the equation----------------so , subtract 5y from both sides= 3y - 6 = 12
Now add 6 to both sides = 3y - 6 + 6 = 18
Combine like terms on the left = 3y + 0 = 18, or 3y = 18
18/3 = 6
