Question 1202702
If the ratio of(2x-y)to(x+y)is 2:3 what is the ratio of x to y 
we can write it:
{{{((2x-y))/((x+y))}}} = {{{2/3}}}
cross multiply
3(2x-y) = 2(x+y)
distribute
6x - 3y = 2x + 2y
6x - 2x = 2y + 3y
4x = 5y
x = {{{5/4}}}y
divide both sides by y
{{{x/y}}} = {{{5/4}}}
The ratio of x:y = 5:4
