Solution

The correct option is B $2$
$- 8 y - (y - 5) = - 13$
$\Rightarrow - 8 y - y + 5 = - 13$
Add $5$ both sides we get
$- 8 y - y + 5 - 5 = - 13 - 5$
$\Rightarrow - 8 y - y = - 13 - 5$
$\Rightarrow - 9 y = - 18$
Divided by $- 9$ both sides we get
$\frac{- 9 y}{- 9} = \frac{- 18}{- 9}$
$\Rightarrow y = 2$
