Given:

3y−4=6−2y

To solve for the given equation, we add 4 to both sides first:


\begin{gathered} 3y-4+4=6+4-2y \\ \end{gathered}

Simplify and Rearrange:


3y=-2y+10

Add 2y to both sides:


\begin{gathered} \\ 3y+2y=-2y+2y+10 \\ 5y=10 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 5:


(5y)/(5)=(10)/(5)

Simplify:


y=2

Therefore, the value of y is 2.
