When only one variable is there, an equation can be solved by using simplification and y=6 in this equation. You can verify it also by putting y=6 on both sides and the results will be same.

Explanation:

4y23(y4)=4y(y1)+3y

4y23y+12=4y24y+3y [3(4)=12,4yy=4y2]

or

4y24y23y+12=y

3y+12=y

So

12=3yy

2y=12

y=122

y=6

Hope it helps...
