It just means to get y by itself. So first, subtract 7x from both sides, making the equation 3y = 6 - 7x. Then divide by 3 on both sides. The resulting equation is y = 2 - 2.3333...x, or 7x/3. Now, if you were given an x-value, then the answer is an actual number instead of a variable. Do you have an x-value?

If you would like to solve the equation 7x + 3y = 6 for y, you can do this using the following steps:

7x + 3y = 6
3y = 6 - 7x /3
y = 6/3 - 7x/3
y = 2 - 7x/3

The correct result would be y = 2 - 7x/3.
