9/2+5/2y=2y-2

Assume the problem is:
+y = 2y-2
multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the denominators, results:
9 + 5y = 2(2y-2)
9 + 5y = 4y - 4
5y - 4y = -4 - 9
y = -13
;
:
Check this in the original problem
+(-13) = 2(-13)-2
- = -26 - 2
4.5 - 32.5 = -28
-28 = -28; confirms our solution of y =-13
