Answer 1

Answer:

Yes u are correct I also did the same one

Answer 2

Answer:

Denominator = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

let numerator be x

denominator be y

A.T.Q

x+2/ y+2 = 3/5. Eq 1

It is also given that

y= x+6. Eq 2

Put value of y in Eq 1

It Gives

x+2/ (x+6)+2 = 3/5

x+2/ x+8 = 3/5

By Cross Multiplication

We get

5(x+2) = 3(x+8)

5x-10 = 3x+24

5x-3x = 34

2x = 34

x= 34/2

x= 17

Put value of x in Eq 2

y= x+6

y= 17+6

y=23. Ans

x=
