Answer:
numerator is 3
denominator is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
If the denominator is x,
The fraction will be -- x-4/x
x-4+1/x+1 = 3/6
=> x-3/x+1 = 3/6
=> 3(x+1)=6(x-3)
=> 3x+3= 6x-18
=> 3x-6x = -18-3
=> -3x = -21
=> x= -21/-3
=> x = 7
**cross check :
3/6 = 1/2
(7-4)+1 / 7+1 => 3+1 / 8 => 4/8 => 1/2.
Hope this helps .
Have a nice day !
