Answer:
25/36
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the numerator and denominator of a fraction x/y
Given:
y = x + 11
y – x = 11---------------1
Also given:
x + 8 / y + 8 = 3/4
4 (x + 8) = 3 (y + 8)
4x + 32 = 3y + 24
3y – 4x = 8 ----------2
Multiply equation 1 by 3
3y – 3x = 33 ------------3
Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3
x = 25
Therefore, y = x + 11 = 25 + 11 = 36
Therefore, fraction is = 25/36
