What is the ratio of x to y? 3/2=2x/2x+y So this means x=1.5 and y is equal to -1, but how does that help me, when my options are:
A. -3/+2

B.-2/+3

C. 2/3

D. 3/2
I was looking it up and I believe it is a, I would like clarification though, please help!

mrnood · Answer

Your initial statement is wrong

you cannot get a value for x AND y from a single equation

rebeccaxhawaii · Answer

omg mrmood you're almost 90 SS

anonymous · Answer

how come? 2x is equal to three..... Meaning 2*1.5=3... So x is equal to 1.5 and same for y. Please explain

mrnood · Answer

$$\frac{ 3 }{ 2 } = \frac{ 2x }{2x+y }$$

first 'cross multiply' to get rid of the fractions

anonymous · Answer

So .3*2x+y and 2*2x

mrnood · Answer

3(2x+y) = 2(2x)

expand that

then arrange to get y terms on one side, and x on the other

anonymous · Answer

3+y=2(4x)

mrnood · Answer

no

expand the brackets (distribute the 3 on left side and the 2 on right side)

mrnood · Answer

Don't rush or guess

anonymous · Answer

Can you show me? I'm not sure exactly what you are saying to do...

mrnood · Answer

the left side of the equation is

3(2x+y)

that is the same as 3 times (2x +y)


so write that in full

anonymous · Answer

What do you mean though "in full"?

mrnood · Answer

multiply all terms in the bracket by 3
