1. The problem asks to identify which of the given expressions are equations.
2. An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, typically containing an equals sign $=$.
3. Let's analyze each option:
- $3y + 1 \leq y$: This is an inequality, not an equation, because it uses $\leq$ instead of $=$.
- $x^2 + 4x + 6$: This is an expression, not an equation, as there is no equals sign.
- $\frac{x - 1}{3} < 12$: This is an inequality, not an equation, because it uses $<$.
- $4y + 3 = 18 + y$: This is an equation because it contains an equals sign $=$.
- $\frac{w}{5} + z = 16$: This is an equation because it contains an equals sign $=$.
- $\frac{14 + a}{2a + 1}$: This is an expression, not an equation, as there is no equals sign.
4. Therefore, the options that are equations are:
$$4y + 3 = 18 + y$$
and
$$\frac{w}{5} + z = 16$$
