To solve for y, we will combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
6y - 9y + 6 = -12
To combine like terms, we subtract 9y from 6y to get -3y.
-3y + 6 = -12
Next, we isolate y by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation.
-3y = -12 - 6
-3y = -18
Finally, we solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -3.
y = -18/-3
y = 6
Therefore, the solution is D. y = 6.
