$- \frac{1}{2}$ $-1/2$

$| 5 y - 4 | = | 5 y + 9 |$ $|5y−4|=|5y+9|$

$5 y - 4 = 5 y + 9 or 5 y - 4 = - (5 y + 9)$ $5y−4=5y+9 or 5y−4=-(5y+9)$

$- 4 = 9 or 5 y - 4 = - 5 y - 9$ $-4=9 or 5y−4=-5y-9$

$X or 10 y = - 5$ $X or 10y= -5$

$y = - \frac{5}{10} = - \frac{1}{2}$ $y=-5/10=-1/2$

How do you solve |5y−4|=|5y+9||5y-4| = |5y+9|?
