D) 2x/3
E) 3x/2

Answer: E
If we regroup the terms:

3x(m-n) + 2y(m-n)=0

(3x+2y)(m-n)=0

Since m is not equal to n, 3x+2y=0

and y= -3x/2

So I would choose B

agree with logitech even im getting B

3x(m-n) = 2y(n-m)
3x=-2y
Y = -3x/2

3x(m – n) + 2y(m – n) = 0

3x + 2y = 0
3x = -2y
-3x/2 = y


I too would choose B.

Oops, you're entirely correct - the answer is B.
Looks like I can't even solve my own questions :oops:
