Answer: - 37 / - 29
Step-by-step explanation:
The rational Number is x/ x+8 --------- (i)
according to the question ,
x + 17 / x+ 8 - 1 = 2/3
x+17 / x+7 = 2/3
2(x+7) = 3(x+17)
2x +14 = 3x +51
-51 + 14 = 3x - 2x
- 37 = x i.e x = -37
now substitute - 37 in eq (i)
-37/-37+8
The rational number is - 37/-29
