I see you are getting different answers, so lets do step by step.
5x + 3y = -9
Remember that whatever you do to one side of an equation must be done to the other side also
We want an equation with
y =
on one side
First subtract 5x from both sides
3y = - 9 - 5x
Now divide both sides by 3
y = (- 9 - 5x)/3
We introduced the parentheses because we divided the whole side by 3
The answer can be expressed in different ways. For example
- (9 + 5x)/3
- (5x + 9)/3
- 5x/3 - 3 (dividing 3 into both terms
- 3 - 5x/3

This equation will be solved in terms of 'x' as u have not given any other corresponding equation for me to solve the both values....!! okay so..the solution..
3y = -9-5x
y = -9-5x/3...
thats all ...i think some part of the question is missin' ..!! anyways thats it !

Ok, they don't want the solution, they want you to change the equation....
First, subtract 5x from both sides
3y = -9 - 5x
Then, divide both sides by 3
y = -3 - 5x/3
And there's your answer.

3y= -9-5x
y=-9/3-5x/3
y= -3 - 5x/3

3y = -9 - 5x
y = -3 - (5/3)x
