Let the numerator be x
So, Denominator will be ( x - 4 )
![fraction \: = \frac{x}{ x - 4} fraction \: = \frac{x}{ x - 4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=fraction+%5C%3A++%3D++%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B+x+-+4%7D+)
Given, if 6 is added to numerator,it becomes twice the original fraction,
Let's continue according to the question,
![= > \frac{x + 6}{x - 4} = \frac{2(x)}{x -4 } \\ \\ => x + 6 = 2x \\ \\ => 6 = 2x - x \\ \\ = > x = 6 = > \frac{x + 6}{x - 4} = \frac{2(x)}{x -4 } \\ \\ => x + 6 = 2x \\ \\ => 6 = 2x - x \\ \\ = > x = 6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=+%3D+%26gt%3B++%5Cfrac%7Bx+%2B+6%7D%7Bx+-+4%7D++%3D++%5Cfrac%7B2%28x%29%7D%7Bx++-4+%7D++%5C%5C++%5C%5C++%3D%26gt%3B+x+%2B+6+%3D+2x+%5C%5C++%5C%5C++%3D%26gt%3B+6+%3D+2x+-+x+%5C%5C++%5C%5C++%3D+%26gt%3B+x+%3D+6)
Hence,
![fraction \: = \frac{x}{x - 4} = \frac{6}{6 - 4} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 fraction \: = \frac{x}{x - 4} = \frac{6}{6 - 4} = \frac{6}{2} = 3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=fraction+%5C%3A++%3D++%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7Bx+-+4%7D++%3D++%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B6+-+4%7D++%3D++%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B2%7D++%3D+3)
So, Denominator will be ( x - 4 )

Let the numerator be x
Then denominator=x-4
If 6 is added to x, then
x+6 = 2(x-4)
= x+6 = 2x - 8
= x - 2x = -8 - 6
= -x = -14
x= 14
The fraction is x/x-4
= 14/14-4
= 14/10
= 7/5
