Hi friend
--------------
your answer
---------------------
Let the numerator be x, then the denominator will be x+ 3 .
Then,
----------
According to the question,
-------------------------------------------
(x + 7)/(x + 3 - 2) = 2
=> (x + 7)/(x + 1) = 2
=> x + 7 = 2(x + 1)
=> x + 7 = 2x + 2
=> x - 2x = 2 - 7
=> - x = - 5
=> x = 5
So,
--------
Numerator = x = 5
Denominator = x + 3 = 8
Therefore,
------------------
The fraction will be = 5/8
