Answer to Problem 7WE

The final answer is $\frac{x}{2}=\frac{y}{3}\Rightarrow \frac{x+2}{2}=\frac{y+3}{3}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given proportion is $\frac{x}{2}=\frac{y}{3}$ .

It is given that $\frac{x}{2}=\frac{y}{3}$

The given proportion will be equivalent to

  $\frac{x+2}{2}=\frac{y+3}{3}$

So,

  $\frac{x}{2}=\frac{y}{3}\Rightarrow \frac{x+2}{2}=\frac{y+3}{3}$
