Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Original Fraction = x / x+2

New Fraction = x+1 / x+3
                     
                        =x+1 / x+3  =   3/4        ( Cross Multiplication)
                       
                        4(x+1)  =  3(x+3)

                        4x+4    =  3x+9

                        4x-3x   =  9-4
                          
                             x     =   5
