-5y=-2\times 9y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 2,5.
-5y=-18y
Multiply -2 and 9 to get -18.
-5y+18y=0
Add 18y to both sides.
13y=0
Combine -5y and 18y to get 13y.
y=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 13 is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.
