Answer:
Here's your answer buddy.
Please mark as brainliest.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numerator be x.
Therefore denominator = x+4
(x+2)/(x+4-1) = 7/8
or, (x+2)/(x+3) = 7/8
or, 8(x+2) = 7(x+3)
or, 8x + 16 = 7x + 21
or, 8x - 7x = 21 - 16
or, x = 5
Therefore the numerator of the original fraction is 5.
Denominator = 5+4 = 9
Therefore original fraction is 5/9.
