To Find:-
Find the fraction.
Given:-
- The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than twice its numerator if 6 is substracted from both numerator and denominator becomes 12 times the denominator.
Solution:-
Let the numerator be " x "
Denominator be " y "
So,
Fraction be
Given,
Hence,
- Numerator is 7
- Denominator is 2x + 4 = 18
∴ Fraction is

Given :-
- The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than twice its numerator. Denominator becomes 12 times the numerator, if both the numerator and the denominator are reduced by 6.
To Find:-
- The fraction.
Solution:-
Let the fraction be
- Denominator of a fraction is 4 more than twice its numerator.
➙ y = 4 + 2x
➙ 2x - y = -4 (I)
- Also, denominator becomes 12 times the numerator, if both the numerator and the denominator are reduced by 6.
So,
➙ y - 6 = 12 (x - 6)
➙ y - 6 = 12x - 72
➙ 12x - y = 72 - 6
➙ 12x - y = 66 (II)
Subtracting (I) from (II)
➙ 12x - 2x - y - (-y) = 66 - (-4)
➙ 10x = 70
➙ x =
➙ x = 7
Putting the value of x - 7 in (I)
➙ 2(7) - y = -4
➙ 14 - y = -4
➙ y = 14 + 4
➙ y = 18
Thus, the fraction is
