Answer:

Y = - 24

Explanation:

Y/-6 +5=9 /*6 (Multiply the whole equation by the number 6 to eliminate the fraction. That is, you multiply each member of the equation by 6 because 6 is in the denominator of the fraction.

(Y)/(-6) *6=-Y,
5*6=30,
9*6=54

-Y + 30 = 54
-Y = 54-30
-Y=24 /*(-1)
Y= -24
