Answer 1

Answer:

9/3 or can be written as 3/1

let denominator of rational number be x

then according to the question:

numerator = x+6

by adding 3 rational no. will become 2/3

(given in question)

x+6/x=2/3

2x=3x+18

x=-9

so, denominator =-9

numerator = -9+6=-3

so original fractional number is

-9/-3 =9/3

or

3/1
