Your first step should be collecting like terms together
Here 3y is a different term and 12 and 6 are like terms
you need 12 and 6 together on one side of the 'equal to' sign.
What should you do ?

3y – 12 = –6
So moving 12 to the other side 
therefore 3y = 12 -6 
which is 3y = 6 and y turns out to be 2
