Question

the denominator of a fraction is 6 more than its numerator . If 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction becomes 1/2 find the fraction

Answer 1

let x be the numerator

x/6+x +2\2= 1\2

x+2/6+2+x = 1\2

x+2\8+x = 1\2

$\frac{2 + x}{8 + x} = \frac{1 }{2}$

to get the value of x do cross multiplication
