Fraction is \bold{\frac{7}{12}}

\bold\green{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}

Let the numerator be x and denominator be y.

According to the first condition

2x=y+2

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

According to the second condition

\bold{\frac{x+3}{y+3}=\frac{2}{3}}

\bold{3(x+3)=2(y+3)}

\bold{3x+9=2y+6}

\bold{3x-2y=-3...(2)}

Multiply equation (1) by 2

4x-2y=4...(3)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (3), we get

4x-2y=4

-

3x-2y=-3

x=7

Substituting x=7 in equation (1), we get

2(7)-y=2

14-y=2

-y=4-14

-2y=-12

\bold{y=\frac{-12}{-1}}

y=12

Fraction is \bold{\frac{x}{y}}

i.e \bold{\frac{7}{12}}
