    y = 5/18

    Step-by-step explanation:

    50/90-y=5/18

    Lets simplify our fractions

    50/90 = 5/9 (divide top and bottom by 10)

    5/9 - y = 5/18

    Subtract 5/9 from each side

    5/9 - 5/9 - y = 5/18 - 5/9

    -y = 5/18 - 5/9

    We need to get a common denominator of 18

    -y = 5/18 - 5/9 * 2/2

    -y = 5/18 - 10/18

    -y = - 5/18

    Multiply each side by - 1

    -1*-y = - 5/18 * - 1

    y = 5/18
