hello dear good afternoon

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the denominator be x

then numerator is 3 less than its denominator is

=x-3

tHey increased by 1

i.e. x+1 ,x-3+1=x-2

the fraction is 2/3

x/x-3 = 2/3

cross multiplication

3x=2(x-3)

3x=2x-6

3x-2x=-6

x=-6

denominator =x=-6

numerator=x-3=-6-3=-9

the fraction is -6/-9=2/3
