Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question the answer you should be getting is :
y =(2)/(9)

Let's solve your equation step by step like this :

Step 1 : Simplify both sides of the equation :

(2)/(y)+-(1)/(9) =(7)/(9)

(2)/(3)+y+(-1)/(9)=(7)/(9)

(y)+((2)/(3)+(-1)/(9))=(7)/(9) (Combine the like terms)

y+(5)/(9)=(7)/(9)

Step 2 : Subtract 5/9 from both sides :

y+(5)/(9)-(5)/(9)=(7)/(9)-(5)/(9)

y=(5)/(9)
