Answer:

(1)/(3) y -
(7)/(5)x +
(2)/(3) -
(2)/(3) y -
(4)/(9)

Explanation:

We are to find the expression which is equivalent to;

-(2)/(3)y -
(3)/(5) x +
(2)/(9) -
(4)/(5)x +
(1)/(3)y

Putting the like terms together we get;

-(2)/(3)y +
-
(3)/(5) x -
(4)/(5)x +
(2)/(9)

Simplifying this gives;

-(1)/(3)y -
(7)/(5)x +
(2)/(9)

The equation that is equivalent to this answer from the choices is;

(1)/(3) y -
(7)/(5)x +
(2)/(3) -
(2)/(3)y -
(4)/(9)
