To solve the equation \(2y + 6 = y - 7\), follow these steps:

1. Subtract \(y\) from both sides to get all the \(y\) terms on one side:
\[
2y - y + 6 = -7
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
y + 6 = -7
\]

2. Next, subtract 6 from both sides to solve for \(y\):
\[
y = -7 - 6
\]
Therefore:
\[
y = -13
\]

The value of \(y\) is \(-13\).
