In this problem “like terms” has two groups: one with a number and y, and one with just numbers. First I’ll rewrite the equation with the terms in a different order, grouped with like terms. Then we’ll do the math for them:

7y + 10 + 3y - 4 - 6y

= 7y + 3y - 6y + 10 - 4

= 10y - 6y + 6

= 4y + 6

Let me know if you have questions on this.
