    Literal Equation solve for y?{resolved}

    Can anyone give this a whirl and see what you come up with.
    Im trying to solve for y.


    2pn - (y/3) = 3n + ay + p

    6pn -y = 9n + 3ay + 3p

    -y = 9n + 3ay + 3p - 6pn

    -3ay -y = 9n + 3p -6pn

    Now here is where im not sure what to do.

    How do i factor the left hand side? y(-1 - 3a) or -(y + 3ay)?

    Also do i have to factor the right hand side? 3(3n + p + -2pn)
