The answer is: -8y - 20.
I don't know if I understand the question  the equation is not set equal to anything but if you are solving for y most likely the entire the equation is equal to 0
y-5+3-9(y+2)=0
y-5+3-9y-18=0
-8y-20=0
-8y=20
y=-20/8
However, if you are just trying to simplify it 
it will simplify to -8y-20
