Answer:

No solution.

Explanation:

Add similar elements: 2y + 3y = 5y

5y - 6 (y + 2) = -y + 6

Apply the distributive Law:

6y - 6 x 2 = 6y - 12

5y - 6y - 12 = -y + 6

Add similar elements: 5y - 6y = -y

-y - 12 = -y + 6

Add 12 to both sides:

-y - 12 + 12 = -y + 6 + 12

Simplify:

-y = -y + 18

Add y to both side:

-y + y = -y + 18 + y

Simplify:

0 = 18

No Solution
