Answer:2y+1=y-5.

We move all terms to the left:

2y+1-(y-5.)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2y-(y-5)+1=0

We get rid of parentheses

2y-y+5+1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y+6=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

y=-6
