Ok I need an algebra expert lol…..I’m not in school so don’t worry you are not helping me cheat.?

I’m 29 and graduated in 1996…..I was trying to refresh my algebra skills and see if I could remember how to do it. I worked the problems off this website, and then checked my answers against the right answers. My answer does not match there’s. Can someone tell me who is right! Here is the problem, it’s an easy one. It’s just been so long, I’m not positive I’m right.

-9+y=20

My answer was y=29

The websites answer was y= -11

Thanks in advance
