1. Problem Description

We need to solve the equation 13y9=19y\frac{1}{3}y - 9 = \frac{1}{9}y for yy.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's subtract 19y\frac{1}{9}y from both sides of the equation:
13y19y9=19y19y\frac{1}{3}y - \frac{1}{9}y - 9 = \frac{1}{9}y - \frac{1}{9}y
13y19y9=0\frac{1}{3}y - \frac{1}{9}y - 9 = 0
We need to find a common denominator for 13\frac{1}{3} and 19\frac{1}{9}, which is 99. So we can rewrite 13y\frac{1}{3}y as 39y\frac{3}{9}y. Then we have
39y19y9=0\frac{3}{9}y - \frac{1}{9}y - 9 = 0
Combine the yy terms:
29y9=0\frac{2}{9}y - 9 = 0
Now, add 99 to both sides of the equation:
29y9+9=0+9\frac{2}{9}y - 9 + 9 = 0 + 9
29y=9\frac{2}{9}y = 9
To isolate yy, we multiply both sides of the equation by 92\frac{9}{2}:
9229y=992\frac{9}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{9}y = 9 \cdot \frac{9}{2}
y=812y = \frac{81}{2}

3. Final Answer

y=812y = \frac{81}{2}
