Question

The numerator of a fraction is 4 less than the denominator. If 1 is added to both the numerator and
denominator, it becomes 1/2
Find the fraction.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

So first assume that the denominator is x.

So fraction is x-4 upon x

now add 1

So now equation is x-4+1/x+1 =1/2

So x = -1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

your answer is 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

let the denominator = x

so , numerator = x - 4

_____________________

Now,

x - 4 + 1 / x + 1 = 1/2

x - 3 / x + 1 = 1/2

2(x-3) = x+1

2x - 6 = x + 1

2x - x = 6 + 1

x = 7

numenator = 3

denominator = 7

So, 3/7
