Solution

If (2x + 3y) : (3x + 2y) = 4 : 3; then x : y is 1 : 6.

Explanation:

Given (2x + 3y) : (3x + 2y) = 4 : 3

`\implies (2x + 3y)/(3x + 2y) = 4/3`

`\implies` 3(2x + 3y) = 4(3x + 2y)

`\implies` 6x + 9y = 12x + 8y

`\implies` 9y – 8y = 12x – 6x

`\implies` y = 6x

`\implies x/y = 1/6`

`\implies` x : y = 1 : 6
