Answer:
Let the fraction is x/y. Then by the given question,
(x+2)/(y+2)=9/11
or, 11x+22=9y+18
or, 11x-9y=18-22
or, 11x-9y=-4
or, 11x=9y-4
or, x=(9y-4)/11
and, (x+3)/(y+3)=5/6
or, 6x+18=5y+15
or, 6x-5y=15-18
or, 6(9y-4)/11-5y=-3
or, (54y-24-55y)11=-3
or, -y-24=-3×11
or, y+24=33
or, y=33-24=9
then, x=(9×9-4)/11
or, x=(81-4)/11
or, x=77/11=7
∴, x=7,y=9 and the fraction is :7/9

Step-by-step explanation:
let the numerator be X
and denominator be Y
according to the question,
X +2 / Y +2 = 9/11
and,
X + 3/ Y +3 = 5/6
you can solve these both equations by cross multiplication.
for your help, here is the solution
