You have the following equation:

-3y - 6 - 7y = 14

in order to solve the previous equation, proceed as follow:

-3y - 6 - 7y = 14 simplify left side like terms

-10y - 6 = 14 add 6 both sides

-10y = 14 + 6

-10y = 20 divide by -10 both sides

y = 20/(-10)

y = -2

Hence, the solution to the given equation is y = -2
