Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction is 7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be taken as x

Denominator = x+8

The fraction would be $\frac{x}{x+8}$

Given, $\frac{x+17}{x+8+1}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{x+17}{x+9}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

Crossmultiply,

2(x+17) = 3(x+9)

2x + 34 = 3x + 27

3x - 2x = 34 - 27

x = 7

x+8 = 15

∴ The fraction is 7/15
