Question

If x+3/3 = y+2/2 then ×/3 =


So confused I'm getting ×=3/2y

Answer 1

Well let's first re-write this

Answer 2

Okay

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Right

Answer 5

Do you get what i'm doing so far?

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


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

Answer 6

Ahh I see now I would of cross multiplied the way they were

Answer 7

so then you would solve for (x/3)

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

Is it not 3y/2

Answer 10

Or I'm doing something wrong still

Answer 11

I thought way you had it set up in was trying to solve for x so simplified both

Answer 12

\[6*\frac{ x }{ 3 } = \frac{ y }{ 2 }*6\]

2x = 3y

so now solve for x

Answer 13

your answer is right it's just that y isn't in the denominator

Answer 14

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }y\] = x was this
what you got?

Answer 15

Omg crazy how 1 little thing can mess you up thank you so much for help...I need tutor ha yes I figured that out lol yea not in denominator

Answer 16

Please note: You are solving for the expression ×/3, in terms of y, and you do not have sufficient information from which to find a numerical value for x.

Don't try to solve for x. Instead, solve for (x/3).
