y=2/3y-3
1. y = 2/3 (9)-3 multiply 9 and 2 =18/3
y=18/3-3 divide 18 and 3 =6
y=6-3 subt. 3
y=3
2. -11=2/3x - 3
-11+3 = 2/3 x add 3 to both sides to cancel -3
-8=2/3 x
(3/2)-8 = (2/3)3/2 x multiply both sides by reciprical of 2/3
-24/2 = x divide
-12=x
It would be 1/2 because that is the fraction of 50<span>%

The area of a rectangle can be calculated by the product of its length and the width. Here we are given the area and the length so we can simply calculate for width. The perimeter is the sum of all the side lengths of the shape. We calculate as follows:
Area = lxw
1/6 = 1.5w
w = 1/9
Perimeter = 2l + 2w
Perimeter = 5/9
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
First you have multiply 6 by both 3x and 8
6*3x = 18x
6*8= 48
18x + 48 + 32 + 12x
now combine like terms
18x + 12x = 30x
48 + 32 = 80
so 30x + 80 is your answer
To find which ratio is higher, we can first convert the ratios into fractions (that makes it easier, at least for me) and then simplify the fractions and see which one is greater.
Since ratios are basically division, 15:20 = 
, and
12:16 = 
Now we simplify these fractions. 15 and 20 have a GCF of 5, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of 
.
12 and 16 have a GCF of 4, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of . Since = , these ratios are the same.
