Answer:

  • as written: y/3
  • with parentheses: y/2

Explanation:

The given equation can be simplified to ...

x +1 = y +1

x = y . . . . . . subtract 1

The we can divide by 3 to get the form you're looking at:

x/3 = y/3

_____

If your original equation is ...

(x +3)/3 = (y +2)/2 . . . . . . . . . with numerator parentheses

Then this simplifies to ...

x/3 +1 = y/2 +1

Subtracting 1, we find ...

x/3 = y/2
