4\left(-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{5}{4}y\right)+2y=9
Fraction \frac{-5}{4} can be rewritten as -\frac{5}{4} by extracting the negative sign.
4\left(-\frac{5}{4}\right)+4\times \frac{5}{4}y+2y=9
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by -\frac{5}{4}+\frac{5}{4}y.
-5+4\times \frac{5}{4}y+2y=9
Cancel out 4 and 4.
-5+5y+2y=9
Cancel out 4 and 4.
-5+7y=9
Combine 5y and 2y to get 7y.
7y=9+5
Add 5 to both sides.
7y=14
Add 9 and 5 to get 14.
y=\frac{14}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
y=2
Divide 14 by 7 to get 2.
