Let the fraction is x/y
Given numerator is increased by 2, then
(x + 2)/y = 2/3
3x + 6 = 2y
y = (3x + 6) / 2 ---------1
Given denominator is increased by 4, then
x/(y + 4) = 4/7
7x = 4y + 16 ---------2
Substitute the value of y in eqn 2
7x = 4 (3x +6)/2 + 16
7x = 2 (3x + 6) + 16
7x = 6x + 12 + 16
x = 28
Therefore, y = (3 * 28 + 6) / 2
= 90 / 2
= 45
Fraction is x/y = 28/45
