Answer:
the fraction is 8/11
Step-by-step explanation:
let the franction be x/y
according to the question
x-2 = 1
y+1 2
2x - 4 = y+1
y= 2x -4 - 1
y = 2x - 5
x+4 = 3
y-3 2
2x+ 8 = 3y -9
2x + 8 = 3( 2x - 5) -9 (substituting the value of y)
8+9 = 6x - 15 -2x
17+15 = 4x
32/4 = x
x = 8
y = 2x - 5
2×8 - 5
16 - 5
11
therefore the fraction is 8
11
