Numerator of a fraction is 3 less than its denominator . If 1 is added to numerator then fraction is 1/2 . Find the fraction PLEASE FRIENDS IT'S VERY URGENT​

Answer 1

let the numerator is x and denominator is y

x - y = -3

x+1/y = 1/2

(x+1)×2 = y

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

(1) - (2)

x - y = -3

-. 2x- y = -2

-. +. +

=. - x = -1

: x = 1

placing x = 1 in (1)

x- y = -3

1-y =-3

y = -3-1

y = -4

the fraction is 1/-4
