Question

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NUMETATOR AND DENOMINATOR OF A FRACTION IS 5. IF 2 IS ADDED TO BOTH THE NUMERATOR AND DENOMENATOR, THE FRACTION WOULD BECOME 2/3. FIND THE FRACTION.
​

Answer 1

let numerator be x,

denominator be x+5

x+2/x+5+2=2/3

x+2/x+7=2/3

2(x+7)=3(x+2)

2x+14=3x+6

14-6=3x-2x

8=x

x=8

Numerator=x=8

Denominator=x+5=8+5=13
