-\frac{2}{5}x-9=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{2}{5}x=y+9
Add 9 to both sides.
\frac{-\frac{2}{5}x}{-\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{y+9}{-\frac{2}{5}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{2}{5}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y+9}{-\frac{2}{5}}
Dividing by -\frac{2}{5} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{2}{5}.
x=\frac{-5y-45}{2}
Divide y+9 by -\frac{2}{5} by multiplying y+9 by the reciprocal of -\frac{2}{5}.
