Answer:
4/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numerator be x.
Given that the sum of the numerator and denominator is 15.
Hence, denominator = 15-x
According to Question,
15-x = 2x+3
=> 15-3 = 2x+x
=> 12 = 3x
=> x = 4
Hence, numerator = 4
Denominator = 15-4 = 11
Therefore, the fraction is 4/11.

Answer:
Let the numerator be x and denominator be y
let the fraction be x/y
x + y + 3 = 2y
(or) x - y = -3
(or) x = y -3 _____(1)
Also, x-1/y-1
x-1 = y-1/2
x= y-1/2 + 1 => 2x = 2x = y - 1 + 2 = y+1
(or) 2x - y = 1 _____ (2)
Substituting (1) in (2)
2(y-3) - y = 1
=> 2y-6 - y = 1 => y = 7
put y = 7 in (1) we get x=7 -3 =4
• x=3
y=7
•the fraction is = x/y = 4/7
● 4/7 ●
y=
