The number of a rational number is 5 less than the denominator if the denominator is increased by 7 and numerator by 2 we again get the same rational number find the number

let the rational be x/y
x = y - 5
x - y = -5 eq1
(x + 2)/(y + 7) = x / y
y (x + 2) = x (y + 7)
xy + 2y = xy + 7x
7x - 2y = 0 eq2
Now put value of y from eq1 in eq2 we get
7x - 2 (x + 5) = 0
7x -2x -10 = 0
5x - 10 = 0
x = 10/5 = 2
Now put value of x in eq 1
x - y = -5
2 - y = -5
y = 5 + 2 = 7
Rational no is x /y = 2/7
Thanks
