Answer

$y=4$

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 6−3y=-6$ Add $3y$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 6−3y+3y=-6+3y$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 6=-6+3y$ Add $6$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 6+6=-6+3y+6$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 12=3y$ Divide each side by $3$. $\Rightarrow \frac{12}{3}=\frac{3y}{3}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 4=y$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $y=4$.
