The expression simplifies to $9 - 5y$ by applying the distributive property, which states that multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend by the number and then summing the products. Here, distributing the negative sign across $-9 + 5y$ changes the signs of both terms inside the parentheses.
