the sum of numerator and denominator of a fraction is 11 if 1 is added to the numerator and 2 is subtracted from the denominator it becomes 2 by 3 find the fraction

Hey friend..!! here's your answer
_________________________
Let the numerator = x
denominator = y
According to question,
x + 1 / y + 1 = 2 / 3
3x + 3 = 2y + 2
3x - 2y = -1 ----------------1
x - 1 / y - 1 = 3 / 5
5x - 5 = 3y - 3
5x - 3y =2 ------------------2
We get 2 question , Now by Elimination Method ,
3x - 2y = -1 × 5
5x - 3y = 2 × 3
15x - 10y = -5
15x - 9y = 6
- + -
__________
-y = -11
y = 11
Now put the value of in equation 1
3x - 2(11) = - 1
3x - 22 = -1
3x = 21
x = 7
So that the value of x is and y is 11.
We know numerator = x and denominator = y
Numerator / Denominator = 7 / 11
So that the fraction is 7 / 11
SOLUTION:-
sum of numerator and denominator in a fraction:-11
n+d=11
if 1 is added to the numerator and 2 is subtracted from the denominator, it becomes 2/3.
Cross multiply:-
3(n+1) = 2(d-2)
3n + 3 = 2d - 4
3n = 2d - 4 - 3
3n = 2d - 7
replace n with (11-d)
3(11-d) = 2d - 7
33 - 3d = 2d - 7
33 + 7 = 2d + 3d
40 = 5d
d = 40/5
d = 8
then
n = 11 - 8
n = 3
