Answer 2

✔️✔️hey mate! here's your answer!✔️✔️

let x be the denominator.

so, numerator = x - 5

if,

numerator = x - 5 + 3 = x - 2

and, denominator = x + 3

according to the question,

$\frac{x - 2}{x + 3} = \frac{4}{5}$

$= > 5(x - 2) = 4(x + 3) \: \: (by \: cross \: multiplication)$

$= > 5x - 10 = 4x + 12$

$= > 5x - 4x = 12 + 10$

$= > x = 22$

therefore, numerator = x -5 = 22-5 = 17

and, denominator = 22

original fraction = $\frac{17}{22}$
