Question
$$-6y+8 = 5y$$
Answer
$$ y = \dfrac{8}{11} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} -6y+8 &= 5y&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 5y } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 8 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]-6y-5y &= -8&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]-11y &= -8&& \text{ divide both sides by $ -11 $ } \\[1 em]y &= \frac{-8}{-11}&& \\[1 em]y &= \frac{8}{11}&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
