When you ask a question like this one, you need to be careful that your fractions are clear to other readers. If you use the equation editor, it makes it clearer. For example,

$$5k - 9 = \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }j$$
or did you mean
$$5k - 9 = \frac{ 2 }{ 3j }$$

If you mean the first, you solve this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the "Inverse" of the fraction. Turn 2/3 upside down, and you get 3/2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2. Remember to multiply both terms on the left by 3/2.
$$\frac{ 3 }{ 2 } (5k - 9) = \frac{ 3 }{ 2 } * \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }j$$
3/2 and 2/3 cancel each other out. You now have isolated "j" by itself.

Now all you have to do is finish the problem.

BUT if you meant the other equation, 
$$5k - 9 = \frac{ 2 }{ 3j }$$then it would be much harder to solve, so I'm going to assume you meant the first.

Do learn to use the equation editor. I just learned to use it earlier today.
