Answer 2

Answer:4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the denominator is=x

Then numerator =x-1

Numerator decreased by 2=x-1-2=x-3

Denominator increased by x+3

Then the number is (x-3)/(x+3)=1/4.

4*(x-3)=1*(x+3)

4x-12=x+3

4x-x=3+12

3x=15

x=15/3

x=5

Then the denominator is =5

And numerator =5-1=4

Then the fraction =4/5
