Question Progress 10 Homework Progress 17/ x: y = 2:3 Which is the correct equation? A 2x = 3y B 2y = 3x C y = x - 1 D y = x + 1

I need help on this it's only 1 attempt or I'll get a 1hr detention ​

Answer 1

Answer: 2y = 3x

Reason:

The equation x:y = 2:3 is the same as saying x/y = 2/3

Cross multiply to get 3x = 2y which flips to 2y = 3x
