Question

The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 5. If the numerator is increased by 12 and denominator decreased by 3, the obtained rational number is 5/3. Then find the rational number

Answer 1

let numerator be x

∴the denominator will be x+8

∴the denominator will be x+8 ⇒x+17/x+8-1=3/2

⇒x+17/x+7=3/2

⇒2(x+17)=3(x+7)

⇒2x+34=3x+21

⇒34-21=3x-2x

⇒13=x

∴x/x+8 = 13/21 (Ans)

Answer 2

Answer:

=13/21

Step-by-step explanation:

let numerator be x  

∴the denominator will be x+8

 ⇒x+17/x+7=3/2 

⇒2(x+17)=3(x+7) 

⇒2x+34=3x+21

⇒34-21=3x-2x   

⇒13=x 

∴x/x+8

=13/21     (Ans  )
