Answer:

The original fraction is equal to 3/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction is x/y

ATQ,

The numerator of a fraction is 6 less than the denominator.

x = y-6

x+6 = y

Again ATQ,

If 3 is added to the numerator the fraction becomes ⅔

x / y

x / x+6 [y=x+6]

(x+3) / (x+6) = ⅔

3×(x+3) = 2×(x+6)

3x+9 = 2x+12

3x - 2x = 12 - 9

1x = 3

X=3

Y=X+6

Y=3+6

Y=9

Y=9

Hence, the original fraction is equal to 3/9
