Answer:
let numerator be x
so denominator will be x+9
so original fraction is x/x+9
now 6 is added to numerator and denominator
so fraction now is x+6/x+15
they said this value is 2/3
so;
x+6/x+15 = 2/3
Cross multiply
3x+18 = 2x+30
x = 12
Now after finding value of x, substitute it in the original fraction
==> 12/12+9
==> 12/21 OR 4/7
