If the ratio of
\n" ); document.write( "(y + 5x) : (x + 2y) is 2/3,
\n" ); document.write( "what is the ratio of y : x?
\n" ); document.write( "================================
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(y+5x/(x+2y) = 2/3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3y+15x = 2x+4y
\n" ); document.write( "y = 13x
\n" ); document.write( "y/x = 13/1
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "y:x as 13:1
\n" ); document.write( "==========================
