Answer:

y = 5 is the answer.

Explanation:

We have to solve the equation y + 6 = -3y + 26

y + 6 + 3y = -3y + 3y + 26 (addition of 3y on both the sides)

4y + 6 = 26

4y + 6 - 6 = 26 - 6 ( subtraction of 6 on both the sides)

4y = 20


(4y)/(4)=(20)/(5) (division by 4 on both the sides)

y = 5

Therefore answer is y = 5.
