Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be x and

Denominator = 2x − 2

Therefore the fraction = x/2x − 2

Given when 3 is added to both the numerator and denominator,

the fraction becomes 2/3.

Hence (x + 3)/(2x − 2 + 3) = 2/3 ⇒ (x + 3)/(2x + 1) = 2/3 ⇒ 3x + 9 = 4x + 2 ⇒ x = 7

Therefore the fraction is 7/12.
