Answer:
4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
let the denominator of the fraction be x.
so, denominator is x
numerator is x-3
fraction=x-3/x
given, if the numerator is increased by 2, the fraction is 6/7
so,
(x-3+2)/x=6/7
x-1/x=6/7
x-1(7)=6x
7x-7=6x
7x-6x=7
x=7 (denominator)
x-3=4 (numerator)
Hence, the required fraction is 4/7.
