Answer:

y = 2

Explanation:

Expressing the equation in fractional form, that is


(3y-6)/(9) =
(4-2y)/(-3) ( cross- multiply )

- 3(3y - 6) = 9(4 - 2y) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

- 9y + 18 = 36 - 18y ( add 18y to both sides )

9y + 18 = 36 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

9y = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

y = 2
