Question

The denominator of a fraction is 3 more than its numerator. If 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator, the new fraction is equivalent to 2/3. Find the original fraction. (Hint: let the numerator of the original fraction be x)
(Show work please and this is algebra)

Answer 1

Answer:

x+2/x+3+2=2/3

3(x+2)=2(x+5)

3x+6=2x+10

x=4

numerator=4

denominator=4+3=7

hence fraction=4/7
