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

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
-4.6 + 2.4y + -2y = -3.4 + 2y + -2y

Combine like terms: 2.4y + -2y = 0.4y
-4.6 + 0.4y = -3.4 + 2y + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
-4.6 + 0.4y = -3.4 + 0
-4.6 + 0.4y = -3.4

Add '4.6' to each side of the equation.
-4.6 + 4.6 + 0.4y = -3.4 + 4.6

Combine like terms: -4.6 + 4.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.4y = -3.4 + 4.6
0.4y = -3.4 + 4.6

Combine like terms: -3.4 + 4.6 = 1.2
0.4y = 1.2

Divide each side by '0.4'.
y = 3

Simplifying
y = 3
