★ Explanation ★
Option [ A ] 12/17
Let the numerator be X and the denominator be X+5, our fraction becomes X/(X+5)
Add 3 to both, the fraction is now:
(X+3) / (X+8)
We know the fraction is equal to 3/4
So (X+3)/(x+8)=3/4
Multiply both sides by the denominators and you get 4(X+3)=3(X+8)
Now multiply out the brackets and solve for X. Then substitute the value of X into the original fraction.
That's as much of your homework as I'm going to do :)
