Answer:
Let the numerator of the rational number be x.
Then denominator will be x + 8.
Further, according to question,
=> x+17/ x + 8-1 = 3/2
=> x+17/x-7 = 3/2
=> 2(x + 17) = 3(x-7)

Answer:
I assume you mean your question to read this way:
The denominator of a rational number is less than the numerator by 5. If 5 is added to the numerator, the new number becomes 11/6. Find the rational number. Note: your English grammar needs as much help as your math!
D = N - 5
(N + 5)/D = 11/6
(N + 5)/(N - 5) = 11/6
6N + 30 = 11N - 55
5N = 85
N = 17
D = 12
The fraction of rational number is 17/12.
