Answer

$y=9x-13$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 2y-18x=-26$ Add $18x$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 2y-18x+18x=-26+18x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2y=18x-26$ Divide each side by $2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{2y}{2}=\frac{18x-26}{2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=9x-13$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $y=9x-13$.
