Question

in A fraction twice the numerator is 2 more than the denominator. if 3 is added to the numerator and to the denominator the new fraction is 2/3. find the original​

Answer 1

Let the numerator be x 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.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numerator be x

denominator = 2x-2

3 is added :-

Numerator= x+3

Denominator= 2x-2+3

=2x+1

x+3/2x+1=2/3

3(x+3)=2(2x+1)

3x+9=4x+2

3x-4x=2-9

-x=-7

x=7

Original Numerator = x = 7

Original Denominator = 2x-2

= 2(7)-2

= 14-2

= 12

Original Fraction = 7/12
