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

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
6 + 3y + -2y = 8 + 2y + -2y

Combine like terms: 3y + -2y = 1y
6 + 1y = 8 + 2y + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
6 + 1y = 8 + 0
6 + 1y = 8

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + 1y = 8 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + 1y = 8 + -6
1y = 8 + -6

Combine like terms: 8 + -6 = 2
1y = 2

Divide each side by '1'.
y = 2

Simplifying
y = 2
