PLEASE REFER THE DIFFERENT QUESTION BUT OF THE SAME OPERATION AND METHOD.
Step-by-step explanation:
the denominator of a rational number is the greater than its numerator by 4 if the numerator increased by 11 and the denominator is decreased by 1 the new rational number become 7/3 find the original rational number
Let us take x to be the numerator and y to be the denominator.
Alright, so y=x+4
Therefore,
x/x+4 is the fraction
so x+11/x+4-1 = 7/3
Now Cross Multiply
3(x+11)= 7(x+3)
3x+33= 7x+21
4x=12
x=3
x+4=y= 7
So the original fraction was 3/7 which then became 14/6
