$$2y+ \frac{ 5 }{ 3 } =26-y$$
$y = \frac{73}{9} = 8\frac{1}{9} \approx 8.111111111$
$$2y+\frac{5}{3}+y=26$$
$$3y+\frac{5}{3}=26$$
$$3y=26-\frac{5}{3}$$
$$3y=\frac{78}{3}-\frac{5}{3}$$
$$3y=\frac{78-5}{3}$$
$$3y=\frac{73}{3}$$
$$y=\frac{\frac{73}{3}}{3}$$
$$y=\frac{73}{3\times 3}$$
$$y=\frac{73}{9}$$
