1/2y + 3 = 1/6y ----> multiply all by 2 we'll get..
2y + 3 = 2/6y -----> multiply all by 6 we'll get..
12y + 18 = 2y
then,
12y - 2y +18 =0
10y +18 =0
10y = -18
y = -1.8

hope it helps...

Assume question is as shown below and not as given:-
(1/2) y + 3 = (1/6) y
3y + 18 = y
2y = - 18
y = - 9

y= -9

subract 1/6 y from both sides and then subtract 3 from both sides.

u get 1/3y= -3

multiply by 3 on both sides.

y=-9
