With this equation, you want to simplify as best you can on both sides, eventually solving for one variable. In this case, since we are looking for x/3, we would solve for x.
yes
\[(x+3)/3=(y+2)/2\]\[2(x+3)=2(y+2)\]\[2x+6=3y+6\]\[2x=3y\] Therefore,\[x/3=y/2\]
Jack you made a typo, 3(y + 2) = 3y + 6
Yes, thank you, @tHe_FiZiCx99
Many apologies @Yacoub1993

Correct. :)
Do you know what the abbreviations in the answers mean?
No, what does it mean?
SAS is side-angle-side SSS is side-side-side AA is angle-angle All three are different ways of determining if triangles are similar or not by what information is given. In this problem, we are given two angles, and nothing more. However, one angle is already determined to be similar to the other: 84.6. We know that all triangles have angles that total 180 degrees. Thus, we can solve one of the triangles by adding the two given angles together, then subtracting from 180 to determine whether or not all three angles are similar to the next triangle.

Correct. :)
