The numerator of a fraction is 3 less than the denominator. If the denominator is increased by 5 and the numerator by 2, we get the fraction 1/2. Find the fraction.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let numerator be x and denominator be y

ATQ

x+3=y

x-y=-3......(1)

Also,

x+2/y+5=1/2

2x-y=1......(2)

(1)×2

2x-2y=-3

2x-y=1

-. +. -

-y=-4

y=4

Put the value of y in (1)

x-4=-3

x=1

FRACTION IS 1/4
