Answer 1

Answer:

this can we figured out through algebra.

let the denominator be x.

The numerator will be x-2.

The 2nd part of the question:

the equation will be $\frac{x-2-2}{x+1}$= $\frac{1}{2}$ since two is subtacted

from numerator, 1 is added to denominator and the result is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

let's solve the equation:

=> $\frac{x-2-2}{x+1}$= $\frac{1}{2}$

=> $\frac{x-4}{x+1}$ =  $\frac{1}{2}$

=> $\frac{x}{x+1}$ - 4 =  $\frac{1}{2}$

=> $\frac{x}{x+1}$ =  $\frac{1}{2}$ +4

=> $\frac{x}{x+1}$ =  $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{8}{2}$

=> $\frac{x}{x+1}$ =  $\frac{9}{2}$

=>$\frac{x}{x} + \frac{1}{1} = \frac{9}{2}$

=>$\frac{x}{x} + \frac{x}{1}= \frac{9}{2}$

=> $\frac{x}{x} = \frac{9}{2}- \frac{x}{1}$

=> 1 = $\frac{9*1-2x}{2}$

=>2 =$\frac{9-2x}{2}$

=> 4= 9-2x

=> 9-2x=4

=>-2x=4-9

=> -2x= - 5

=> 2x= 5

=> x= 2.5 or 2$\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the fraction is 2$\frac{1}{2}$.
