Question

If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 1, the fraction becomes 1/2
If the numerator
is decreased by 1. the fraction becomes 1/3
Find the fraction.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let numerator be x and denominator be y

therefore fraction will be x /y

ATQ,

x+1/y=1/2

2x+2=y

2x-y=-2......(I)

again ATQ,

x-1/y=1/3

3x-3=y

3x-y=3......(ii)

now on solving the equation you will be able to find the value of x and y and then write it in the form of fraction x/y.

hope it helps!!!

Answer 2

Answer:3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

X+1/y+1=1/2

2x+2=y+1--------(1)

X-1/y-1=1/3

3x-3=y-1

3x-y=2----------(2)

2x-y=-1

3x-y=2

-x=-3

X=3

3(3)-y=2

9-y=2

-y=-7

Y=7
