Answer 1

Answer:

Denominator will be -24

All options are wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

let the denominator be 'X+7'

therefore Numerator will be 'X'

therefore given fraction will be 'X/X+7'

as per the condition

X+1 / X+7-1= 6/5

X+1 / X+6= 6/5

5X+5 = 6X + 36

X = -31

therefore original fraction

-31/-24
