X/2 +3y = 6 . . . . . . . . starting point
x/2 = 6 -3y . . . . . . . . subtract terms that don't have x
x = 2(6 -3y) . . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the x-coefficient
x = 12 -6y . . . . . . . . . expand if you like
3y = 6 -x/2 . . . . . . . . subtract terms that don't have y
y = (6 -x/2)/3 . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the y-coefficient
y = 2 -x/6 . . . . . . . . . expand if you like
If the numerator and the denominator do not have a greatest common factor then the faction is in simplest form
Just o be sure you are asking what (X) equals

Answer:
The second group
Step-by-step explanation:
The first group is 4 apples for 3 friends.
= 4/3. They each got 1 & 1/3 of an apple.
The second group is 6 apples for 4 friends.
= 6/4. They each got 1 & 1/2 of an apple.
1 1/3 < 1 1/2, so friends in the second group get a larger portion of apples
