3x-9x-y=5y-\left(2x+9y\right)
To find the opposite of 9x+y, find the opposite of each term.
-6x-y=5y-\left(2x+9y\right)
Combine 3x and -9x to get -6x.
-6x-y=5y-2x-9y
To find the opposite of 2x+9y, find the opposite of each term.
-6x-y=-4y-2x
Combine 5y and -9y to get -4y.
-6x-y+2x=-4y
Add 2x to both sides.
-4x-y=-4y
Combine -6x and 2x to get -4x.
-4x=-4y+y
Add y to both sides.
-4x=-3y
Combine -4y and y to get -3y.
\frac{-4x}{-4}=-\frac{3y}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=-\frac{3y}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
x=\frac{3y}{4}
Divide -3y by -4.
