Question

The denominator of each fraction exceeds its numerator by 4. If 6 is added to the numerator and 2 is subtracted feom the denominator, the resulting fraction equals to 5. Find the fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator = X

Denominator = y

According to eq.= X/y+4

X/y+4=1/1

X= y + 4

X-2y = 4....(1)

X+6/y-2= 5/1

X+6= 5y-10

X-5y= -16....(2)

By eq.1 and 2

X - 5y = -16

X - y = 4 (by elimination method)

4y = 20

y = 5

Hence by putting y in the eq. The X will be 9...

Answer 2

the numerator is 9 and denominator is 6
