Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be x and

the denominator be y

Given that numerator of a fraction is 7 less than its denominator

Therefore, x+7=y ------(1)

Given that if the denominator increased by 9 and the numerator by 2 then the fraction is 32

Therefore, x+2/y+9=32

⟹3x+6=2y+18

⟹3x−2y=12

⟹3x−2(x+7)=12

⟹x−14=12

⟹x=26

⟹y=26+7=33 (from (1))

Therefore, the fraction is 26/33
