Multiple Variable Expression

[scdoc8]

I am brushing up on intro to calculus as its been many years since my last calculus or algebra class. I am stuck on how to solve this problem. I am at a loss on how to begin this question. I don't see how you can get an answer with 2 variables. Any help is appreciated. Disregard the bullet answer, It was clicked accidentally.

Start with:

a/b = b/(a/3)

a * (a/3) = b * b

Can you get numerical values for (a/b)?

Step #1 - Ignore "x". Find a useful relationship between a and b.
