If is increased by 5 then the answer will be 5/3

Answer 2

the answer is -15
denominator - x
numerator becomes x+3

after adding 5
numerator - x+8
denominator - x+5

x+5                            10
------             =          ------     
x+8                            7

7x+35 = 10x+80
35-80  = 10x-7x

-45 = 3x


-45/3 = x
-15 = x
