x = y/9
Cause you need always the contrary operation. If you want to cut 9x you must remember that 9x means 9*x and the opposite of it is /.
So here is the detailed way:
y=9x | make clear all operations
<=> y=9*x | change (Commutative property)
<=> y=x*9 | put the 9 on the other side (both sides /9)
<=> y/9 = (x*9)/9 | summarize
<=> y/9 = x
