20y%2B5=9

20y%2B5-5=9-5 Subtract 5 from both sides

20y=4

20y%2F20=4%2F20 Divide both sides by 20

y=4%2F20

y=%281%2A4%29%2F%285%2A4%29 Factor each part. This helps with reducing.

y=%281%2Ahighlight%284%29%29%2F%285%2Ahighlight%284%29%29 We have a pair of 4 terms

y=%281%2Across%284%29%29%2F%285%2Across%284%29%29 Those 4's cancel out

y+=+1%2F5 leaving us with this final answer
