Answer:

13/21

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Numerator = x
  2. Denominator = x+ 8

x/x+8

  • If the numerator is increased by 17

x + 17

  • The denominator is decreased by 1

x + 8 - 1

x+17/x+7 = 3/2

  • Cross multiplication used now

3(x + 7) = 2(x + 17)

3x + 21 = 2x + 34

3x - 2x = 34 - 21

x = 13

x/x + 8 = 13/13 + 8

13/21
