Answer 1

Answer:

fraction=-3/1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let denominator=x

Therefore numerator is x-3

fraction=x-3/x

If we add 1 to numerator,

=x-3+1

=x-2

then the denominator is decreased by 3

=x-3

new fraction is x-2/x-3

equation=

x-2/x-3=1/2

cross multiplication

2(x-2)=x-3

2x-4=x-3

2x-x=-3+4

x=1

The original fraction is-3/1.
