Question

find X:y if 2x+3y/x+8y=1/2 solve the ratio​

Answer 1

Answer:

2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y/x+8y=1/2

4x+6y=x+8y

4x-x=8y-6y

3x=2y

x/y=2/3

So, x:y=2:3

Answer 2

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y/ x + 8y = 1/ 2

2 (2x + 3y)        = x + 8y

4x + 6y             = x + 8y

4x - x                = 8y - 6y

3x                     = 2y

x/y                    = 2/3
