the numerator of fraction is 2 less than denominator. If one is added to its denominator, it becomes 1/2.Find the fraction

_________________________________

$\bf \underline{To \: find}$

fraction

___________________________________

$\bf \underline{step \: by \: step \: explanation}$

$\sf \red{let \: the \: numerator \: be \: x}$

$\rm \blue{fraction \: is}$

$\sf \red{ = \frac{x }{x + 2}}$

________________________________

from the question ,

$\tt \red{⟹ \frac{x}{x + 2 + 1} = \frac{1}{2}}$

$\sf \blue{⟹ \frac{x}{x + 3} = \frac{1}{2}}$

$\sf \green{⟹2x = x + 3}$

$\sf{ \boxed{ \underline{ \orange{ \red{ \tt{x = 3 \: }}}}}}$

• numerator is 3

• denominatior is 5

so,

$\bf \red{fraction \: is \: \frac{3}{5}}$

_________________________________

$\sf \underline{check \: the \: verification}$

$\tt \red{ \frac{3}{5}}$

$\tt \blue{⟹ \: \frac{3}{5 + 1}}$

$\tt \orange{ \frac{3}{6}}$

$\rm \green{ ⟹\frac{1}{2}}$

RHS
