@hartnn Do you think you know how to work this out?

Answer 7

luis_rivera explains it very well. first break up the two fractions.

you have (x+3)/3 = (y+2)/2 to start with

break up the fractions
x/3 + 3/3 = y/2 + 2/2

// simplify the 3/3 and 2/2 since they both equal 1
x/3 + 1 = y/2 + 1

// subtract 1 from both sides.
x/3 = y/2

// the above equation is the answer you are looking for.

Answer 8

How do the fractions break up like that?

Answer 9

ok, suppose you have 2/3 + 3/3
what is that
well, (2+3)/3

just do that backwards for (x+3)/3.
the x is like the 2 in my example
x/3 + 3/3
