Answer 2

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator be x so denominator =x+3

Original number = x/x+3

if 3 is subtracted numerator becomes x-3

and if 2 Is added to denominator it becomes x+3+2 = x+5

So the fraction now is

(x-3)/(x+5)

And equation now is

(x-3)/(x+5)=1/5

Do cross multiplication now

(x-3)*5=(x+5)*1

=5x-15=x+5

=5x=x+15+5 (Transposition of 15)

5x-x=15+5

4x=20

x=20/4

x=5

Original number = x/x+3

Now put the value of x

5/5+3

=5/8 answer
