Answer:

y/2

Explanation:

First, multiply 6 on both sides. 2x+6 = 3y+6. Subtract both sides by 6.

2x = 3y. 2x is 6*x/3. So ^*x/3 = 3y. Divide both sides by 6 and x/3 = 3y/6.

3y/6 = y/2.

ANSWER


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

EXPLANATION

Given:


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

Split the numerator on both sides of the equation to get:


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


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

Solve for
(x)/(3)


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

Simplify:


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