0 + y = 0 + -6
y = 0 + -6

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

Simplifying
y = -6
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + y = 0

Solving
1 + y = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + y = 0 + -1

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

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

Simplifying
y = -1
Solution
y = {-6, -1}
