hello bro
according to your data
answer is 2/7
let denominator =x. (1)
so numerator =x-5. (2)
if 3 is added to numerator it becomes x-5+3=x-2
if 3 is added to denominator it becomes x+3
and their value is 1/2
I,e. x-2/x+3=1/2
cross multiply and solve them
you will get x=7
put x value in (1),(2)
therefore numerator/denominator=2/7
hope I said is correct
