Answer:
[tex]y = 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Simplify 5y/9 - y/9 to 4y/9.
[tex] \frac{4y}{9} = \frac{8}{9} [/tex]
2) Multiply both sides by 9.
[tex]4y = \frac{8}{9} \times 9[/tex]
3) Cancle 9.
[tex]4y = 8[/tex]
4) Divide both sides by 4.
[tex]y = \frac{8}{4} [/tex]
4) Simplify 8/4 to 2.
[tex]y = 2[/tex]
Hence, the answer is y = 2.
