Question

HEEEELLLPPPP MEEEE PLLLZZZ!!!!
MEDAL FOR WHO EVER EXPLAINS IT BEST PLEASE I DONT UNDERSTAND...

Answer 1

\[If \frac{X+3 }{ 3 }=\frac{ Y+2 }{ 2 },then \frac{ X }{ 3 }=\]

Answer 2

sounds like an emergency ...haha

Answer 3

i swear ive helped with this exact same question

Answer 4

it kinda is the test is coming up soon and the teacher said questions like this are on it...so she gave me a few question to work on and this one is one i dont understand :(

Answer 5

hint: split the fractions up
example:

\[\frac{1+2}{3} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3}\]

Answer 6

how do i split up these thought they are different and i have to find wat x/3 equals

Answer 7

???

Answer 8

@dumbcow

Answer 9

really i just showed an example of how to split up fractions with single denominator

Answer 10

when you add fractions with same denominator, you simply add the numerators and keep denominator
well to split up fraction ... create 2 fractions with same denominator

Answer 11

im not suppose to have this course i am really bad at geometry or any other math

Answer 12

??
this is simple fractions

Answer 13

\[\frac{ x }{ 3 }, \frac{ 3 }{ 3 }= \frac{ y }{ 2 },\frac{ 2 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 14

like that

Answer 15

@dumbcow

Answer 16

does it equal y/2?

Answer 17

yes good , but you should be adding them
No comma!

Answer 18

wait you add them or cross multiply? i cross multiplied

Answer 19

yes because 3/3 = 1 and 2/2 = 1
subtract 1 from both sides leaving

x/3 = y/2

Answer 20

i cross multiplied and got the same thing:)

Answer 21

you could cross-multiply but not in this case because you are trying to isolate " x/3"

Answer 22

oh ok

Answer 23

i did x/3 x 3/3 = y/2 x 2/2
3x=9 = 2y=4
3x/3=9/3 = 2y/2=4/2
x=3 = y=2
this is wat i got @dumbcow

Answer 24

woah you split this into 2 different equations ..... and i think you don't understand what "cross-multiply" means

they are not asking what does " x=" and "y="
question is x/3 = ?

you multiplied instead of added ??

\[\frac{x+3}{3} = \frac{y+2}{2}\]
\[\frac{x}{3} +\frac{3}{3} = \frac{y}{2}+\frac{2}{2}\]
\[\frac{x}{3} +1 = \frac{y}{2} +1\]
\[\frac{x}{3} = \frac{y}{2}\]

Answer 25

oh ok i got it got it yea i see wat i did wrong

Answer 26

thank you so much :)
