Question

the numerator of a rational number is five more than its denominator. if two is added to both numerator and denominator the fraction becomes 8/3. find the rational number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x is numerator and y is denominator

x=y+5

now second condition

y+7/y+2=8/3

3y+21=8y+16

5y=5

y=1

hence the rational number is 6/1

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+5+2/X+2=8/3

X+7/X+2=8/3

3x+21/=8x+16

3x-8x=-21+16

-5x=5

X=-1
