Explanation:
#"distribute the left side of the equation"#
#rArr3-1/2y=y#
#"add "1/2y" to both sides"#
#3cancel(-1/2y)cancel(+1/2y)=y+1/2y#
#rArr3=3/2y#
#"multiply both sides by "2/3#
#2/cancel(3)xxcancel(3)=cancel(2)/cancel(3)xxcancel(3)/cancel(2)y#
#rArry=2#
#color(blue)"As a check"#
#1/2(6-2)=1/2xx4=2#
