hold on a second
What you are gonna want to do is to multiply the whole equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction
8 + 12y = 24y - 1
Now move the y's to one side
8 = 12y - 1
Now add 1 to each side to get the 12y by itself
9 = 12y
Divide each side by 12 to get the y by itself
9/12 = y
Simplify
3/4 = y

1. 2+3Y=6Y-1/4
2. 3Y+2+1/4=6Y
3. 6Y-3Y=2+1/4
4. 3Y=9/4
5. Y=(9/4)/3
6. Y=9/12
7. Y=3/4

2+3y=6y-1/4
Get all the y's to one side of the equals sign.
2+3y-6y=-1/4
3y-6y=-1/4-2 In fraction form -1/4 - 2/1 (need a common denominator) So -1/4 - 8/4
-3y=-9/4 Divide by -3 on both sides to get y by itself.
y= -9/4 / -3/1 is (-9/4)*(-1/3)
y=9/12
y=3/4

2 + 3y = 6y - 1/4
- 3y -3y (subtract 3y from both sides of equation)
2 = 3y - 1/4
+1/4 +1/4 (add 1/4 to both sides of equation)
9/4 = 3y
3/4 = y (divide both sides of equation by 3)

Put all the y's to one side and solve for y.
2+3y=6y-(1/4)
2+(1/4)=6y-3y
2.25=3y
divide by 3 on both sides
2.25/3=3y/3
2.25/3=y
y=.75

Subtract 3y from both sides
add 1/4 to both sides
divide both sides by 3
so, 2 and 1/4 divided by 3 which is 3/4

2 + 1/4 = 3y
y = 9/4 * 1/3
y = 9 / 12
y = 3/4 or 0.75
