Question

The denominator of a fraction is 1 more than twice its numerator/ If numerator and denominator both are decreased by 1, the fraction becomes 1/3. Find the fraction. Please help me in this. NO IRRELEVANT ANSWERS OR ELSE I WILL REPORT.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the fraction be

y

x

given y=2x+4

2x−y=−4

multiply the equation with 6

12x−6y=−24................... (1)

(y−6)=12(x−6)

12x−y=66........................(2)

subtract (1) and (2)

y=18,x=7

therefore the fraction is

18
