Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numerator be x and denominator be y.
According to question:
2x=2+y
2x-y=2----(1)
x+3/y+3=2/3
3(x+3)=2(y+3)
3x+9=2y+6
3x-2y=6-9=-3----(2)
multiply equation (1) with 2,
4x-2y=4----(3)
Through elimination method of (2) and (3):
4x-2y-(3x-2y)=4+3
4x-3x-2y+2y=7
x=7-----(4)
Substitute (4) in (1).
2(7)-y=2
14-y=2
14-2=y
12=y.
Therefore, the fraction is 7/12.
