Question

What is the ratio of x to y=?
2/3=(x)/(3x+y)

Answer 1

x : y = 2 : - 3

Explanation:

given

`(2)/(3)` =
`(x)/(3x+y)` ( cross- multiply )

3x = 2(3x + y) ← distribute

3x = 6x + 2y ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- 3x = 2y ( divide both sides by y )

- 3
`(x)/(y)` = 2 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

`(x)/(y)` =
`(2)/(-3)`
