9y=\left(y+20\right)\times 1.6
Variable y cannot be equal to -20 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9\left(y+20\right), the least common multiple of 20+y,9.
9y=1.6y+32
Use the distributive property to multiply y+20 by 1.6.
9y-1.6y=32
Subtract 1.6y from both sides.
7.4y=32
Combine 9y and -1.6y to get 7.4y.
y=\frac{32}{7.4}
Divide both sides by 7.4.
y=\frac{320}{74}
Expand \frac{32}{7.4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
y=\frac{160}{37}
Reduce the fraction \frac{320}{74} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
