Let numerator = x
denominator = 2x - 1
when numerator is doubled and 5 is added (2*x+5) the fraction becomes 4/5.
(2x+5) / (2x-1) = 4/5
(2x+5)*5 = (2x-1)*4
10x + 25 = 8x - 4
10x - 8x = - 4 - 25
2x = -29
x = -14.5
Therefore, numerator = -14.5
denominator= (2*-14.5) -1
= -30
HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THE SUM.
