See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, solve the equation for #y# by subtracting #color(red)(36)# from each side of the equation to solve for #y# while keeping the equation balanced:

#y + 36 - color(red)(36) = 106 - color(red)(36)#

#y + 0 = 70#

#y = 70#

The we can find #y + 14# as:

#y + 14 => 70 + 14 = 84#
