Maths work help, what is y

104-6y=10y+24 ? What is y ?
10 points for someone who explains how I could work it out, bit lost

104 - 6y = 10y + 24.......ADD 6y to both sides

104 = 16y + 24..............SUBTRACT 24 from both sides

80 = 16y........................DIVIDE both sides by 16

5 = y...........ANSWER
