The left side equals 0, Does that mean the whole problem is automatically 0?

no, it means all solutions. when you have an equation where, for example, it ends up as 0=0 or 5=5, that is all solutions. if it ends up as something like 3=7 or 0=4, that is no solution.

both sides = 0 but I think your s'posta show your work like this:
3y-8y+5y = 3-9+6
-5y+5y = -6+6
y = 0

So, when you simplify the both sides of the equation,
0y = 0.
So, y can be any number, since anything times zero is zero.

Both sides equal zero, check the problem again.

deese is wrong -5y+5y aint y, itz 0.
the answer is ALL REAL VALUES OF Y. cos no matter what real value of y u sub in, the LHS=RHS.

It means that y can be any value.
