Step-by-step explanation:
let the fraction be x/y
given:
x + y = 8
x+3/y+3 =3/4
4x+12=3y+9
4x-3y=-3
using simultaneous equations:
4x+4y=32
-4x+3y=3
therefore y=5
substituting y in one of the equations we get x=3
answer : 3/5

Answer:
Let the required fraction be x/y . Then, we have: x + y = 8 ……(i)
And, x+3/ y+3 = 3/4
⇒4(x + 3) = 3(y + 3)
⇒4x + 12 = 3y + 9
⇒ 4x – 3y = -3 ……(ii)
On multiplying (i) by 3, we get:
3x + 3y = 24
On adding (ii) and (iii), we get:
7x = 21
⇒ x = 3
On substituting x = 3 in (i), we get:
3 + y = 8
⇒ y = (8 – 3) = 5
∴ x = 3 and y = 5
Hence, the required fraction is 3/5 .
