Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let numerator be p.
Denominator is p + 2.
⇒ Fraction =
p / p+2 + p+2/p =
⇒ 15(p^2+ p^2 + 4p + 4) = 34(p^2 + 2p)
⇒ 30p^2 + 60p + 60 = 34p^2 + 68p
⇒ 4p^2 + 8p - 60 = 0
⇒ p^2 + 2p - 15 = 0
⇒ p^2 + 5p - 3p - 15 = 0
⇒ p(p + 5) - 3(p + 5) = 0
⇒ (p + 5)(p - 3) = 0
⇒ p = 3
Therefore
Fraction =
