You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+%282%2F3%29%2Ay+=+%281%2F9%29%2Ax+%2B+2+
Multiply both sides by +9+
+6y+=+x+%2B+18+
subtract +6y+ from both sides
+0+=+x+-+6y+%2B+18+
subtract +18+ from both sides
+-18+=+x+-+6y+
Now write it in the reverse order:
+x+-+6y+=+-18+
---------------------
check the answer:
Let +x+=+9+
+%282%2F3%29%2Ay+=+%281%2F9%29%2A9+%2B+2+
+%282%2F3%29%2Ay+=+3+
+y+=+9%2F2+
and
+x+-+6y+=+-18+
+9+-+6y+=+-18+
+-6y+=+-18+-+9+
+-6y+=+-27+
+y+=+9%2F2+
OK
