To solve this equation, we need to collect like terms

To collect like terms, we bring the terms similar to each other to the same side

In this case, the value having y will be brought to same side of the equation

Kindly note that if we are bringing a particular value over the equality sign, then the sign of the value has to change

This means if negative, it becomes positive and if positive, it becomes negative

Proceeding, we have

4y - 2y = 8 + 6

2y = 14

divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = 14/2

y = 7

The value of y in this equation is 7
