Here you have unknowns to move to the left and to the right known. Then you have to organize parties. At the end of the right side of the divide by the number of standing by the unknown.

-6y+14+4y=32\\\\-2y+14=32\ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 14\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-2y=18\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-2)\\\\\boxed{y=-9}
