Answer 1

Hello!

Here's your answer :

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Let the numerator be x

Denominator = (x+3)

Fraction = x / x+3

According to Question.

(x)+2 / (x+3)+5 = 1 /2

(Solving By Cross Multiplication Method)

x + 2 / x + 8 = 1 /2

2 (x+2) = 1 (x + 8)

2x + 4 = x + 8

2x - x = 8 - 4

1x = 4

x = 4

Numerator = x = 4

Denominator = (x+3) = (4+3) = 7

Fraction = 4 /7
