Solving
6 + 3y = -32 + 4y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4y' to each side of the equation.
6 + 3y + -4y = -32 + 4y + -4y

Combine like terms: 3y + -4y = -1y
6 + -1y = -32 + 4y + -4y

Combine like terms: 4y + -4y = 0
6 + -1y = -32 + 0
6 + -1y = -32

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -1y = -32 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -1y = -32 + -6
-1y = -32 + -6

Combine like terms: -32 + -6 = -38
-1y = -38

Divide each side by '-1'.
y = 38

Simplifying
y = 38
