Answer:

y = -7 +3x

Literal equations are solved the same way numeric equations are solved. This is a 2-step linear equation in y. Do the two steps.

6x -2y = 14 . . . . . . given

-2y = 14 -6x . . . . . .subtract the term not containing y (step 1)

y = -7 +3x . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y (step 2)
