Question

the numerator of a fraction is 2 less than the denominator if 3 is added to both the numerator and the denominator the fraction because 3 by 4 find the fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the denominator.

Given, Numerator is 2 less than denominator => numerator = x -2.

Given, if 3 added to numerator and denominator the fraction is 3/4

=> x - 2 + 3 / x + 3 = 3/4

=> x + 1 / x + 3 = 3/4

=> 4x + 4 = 3x  + 9

=> x = 5.

Thus the denominator = 5.

Numerator = x - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3

Thus the fraction is 3/5

Answer 2

Answer:

let denominator =x

so. , numerator=x-2

fraction=x-2

x

ATQ

(x-2+3 )÷(x+3) =3/4

(x+1)/(x+3)=3/4

4(x+1)=3(x+3)

4x+4=3x+9

4x-3x=9-4

x=5

so

fraction=(5-2)/5

=3/5. Ans
