Step-by-step explanation:

hifarah: X=5-y

hifarah: x+y=5

hifarah: 5x+10=4y+8

hifarah: 5x-4y=-2

hifarah: After elimination

hifarah: U get y = 3

hifarah: Substitute this in the first eq u get x = 2

hifarah: The fraction is 2/3

Solution==>>

Let numerator be x

and denominator=x+5. (A.T.Q)

Again A.T.Q==>>

if we add 2 on both numerator and denominator

x+2/x+7=4/5

5x+10=4x+28

5x-4x=28-10

x=18

and x+5=23

so, numerator = x = 18

and, denominator = x+5 =23

Fraction=18/23
