Question

If x + 3/ 3 = y + 2/ 2 , then x/ 3 = _______.

Answer 1

The correct answer is y/2

Explanation:

It is given that,

(x + 3)/ 3 = (y + 2)/ 2

To find x/3

(x + 3)/ 3 = (y + 2)/ 2

⇒ x/3 + 3/3 = (y + 2)/2

x/3 + 1 = (y + 2)/2

x/3 = (y + 2)/2 - 1

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

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

x/3 = y/2

Therefore the correct answer is x/3 = y/2
