Let the denominator of the fraction be x.
According to the question the numerator is 3 less then the denominator .So,it will be x-3
After increasing the numerator by 1 the number will be (x-3) +1
After increasing the denominator by 3 The number in denominator will be x+3.
So, according to the question the equation will be
[(x-3)+1]/(x+3) =1/2
=>( x -3+1)/(x+3)=1/2
=>(x-2)/(x+3)=1/2
=>2(x-2)=1(x+3)
=>2x -4=x+3
=>2x -x= 3+4
x=7
Hence, numerator= [(x-3)+1]
=7-3=4
denominator=7
Hope this will help you!!!
