Verified Answer :

5-y/2 = 9

First, we do the inverse operation and subtract 5 from both sides.
 
  5 - y/2 = 9
-5            -5

-y/2 = 4

Now, we do the inverse operation ( multiply by the reciprocal) 

-y/2 = 4
-y/2 -2 = 4 -2
y= -8
y=-8

Now we have our final answer: y=-8

Check our work

5 - - 8/2= 9
5+4=9
9=9

OUR ANSWER IS CORRECT! :)

If you would like to solve the equation 5 - y/2 = 9, you can calculate this using the following steps:

5 - y/2 = 9
5 - 9 = y/2
- 4 = y/2     /2
y = - 4 2
y = - 8

The correct result would be - 8.
