Answer

$y=2x+1$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 16x+9=9y-2x$ Add $2x$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 16x+9+2x=9y-2x+2x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 18x+9=9y$ Divide both sides by $9$. $\Rightarrow \frac{18x+9}{9}=\frac{9y}{9}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2x+1=y$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $y=2x+1$.
