Let the fraction be x/y
Given that
x+2/y =1/2 -----> equ i
x/y-1 =1/3 -----> equ ii
From i and ii
2(x+2) =1(y) -------> equ i
3(x) =1(y-1) -------> equ ii
=> 2x+4=y
3x=y-1
Subtract i and ii. we get
2x - y = -4
3x - y = -1
(-) (+) = (+)
______________
-x = -3
_____________
=> x=3
subtitute x=3 in equ i. we get
2(3+2)=y
=> 2(5) =y
=> y=10
Therefore the value of x and y are 3 and 10 respectively.
