First, you make 9 into a fraction which would become 36/4
then, subtract 9/4 from both sides so that would give you 3/4x = 27/4
then divide each side by 3/4 (same thing as multiply by its reciprocal) and that would give you x=9
Converting to vertex form is actually pretty simple so I think you might find something to help you out here. :)

2y + 2(y-2) = 5y - 3(y-10)
2y + 2y - 4 = 5y -3y +30
4y - 4 = 2y + 30
4y - 2y = 30 + 4
2y = 34
y = 34/2
y = 17
