Answer 2

Answer:

23/35

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numerator be x and the denominator be y

NOW, x=y-12. _(1)

(x-2)/(y+7)=1/2

2x-4=y+7

2x-y=11. _(2)

putting the value of x from equation (1) to (2)

2(y-12)-y=11

2y-24-y=11

y=35

putting the value of y in equation (2)

2x-35=11

2x=46

x=23

hence the fraction is 23/35
