Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the rational numbers be
According to the question
y = x + 7x = y - 7....(1)
And = 2
Putting (1), we get,
=2
By cross multiplication
⇒ y - 7 + 17 = 2(y - 6)
⇒ y + 10 = 2y - 12
⇒ 2y - y = 10 + 12
⇒ y = 22
⇒ x = y - 7 = 22 - 7 = 15
So the number is

⠀
Given: The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 7.
❒ Let the numerator be x. And, the Denominator be (x + 7).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀
⠀
- If the numerator is increased by 17 and denominator is decreased by 6, the new number formed becomes 2.
⠀
Therefore,
- Numerator, x = (x + 17)
Also,
- Denominator, (x + 7 - 6) = (x + 1)
⠀
Now,
⠀
⠀
Hence,
⠀
- Numerator, x = 15
- And, Denominator, (x + 7) = 15 + 17 = 22
