Question

the numerator of a fraction is 3 less than the denominator. if both the numerator and denominator are increased by 2, the new fraction becomes 6/7​

Answer 1

Answer:

denominator = -18

numerator = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

denominator = x+2

numerator =x-3+2

x+2/x-3+2 = 6/7

x+2/x-1 =6/7

7(x+2) =6(x-1)

7x+14 =6x-6

x = -20

Answer 2

Answer:

the first fraction is 16/19

Step-by-step explanation:

if denominator is x than numerator will be x-3

soo

when two is added

((x-3)+2)/ (x+2)=6/7 on further solving we will get

x=19

and as numerator iis ((x-3)=19-3 =16 so

16/19
