cy+3=6d-2y
cy + 2y = 6d - 3
(c + 2)y = 6d - 3
y = (6d - 3)/(c + 2)

I will do my best to explain what is done, but feel free to ask if you have questions on what I did:

cy+3=6d-2y
bring all the "y"s to one side

cy+3-3=6d-2y-3

cy+2y=6d-3-2y+2y
this should be your result...

cy+2y=6d-3
now divide y out to isolate it:

y(c+2)=6d-3
then divide our c+2 so your y is alone

(y(c+2))/(c+2)= (6d-3)/(c+2)
you should get this as your answer:

y= (6d-3)/(c+2)
