Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:let numerator=x
Let denominator=y
So fraction=x/y
ATQ
x+y=8
x+3/y+3=3/4
4(x+3)=3(y+3). (Cross multiplying)
4x+12=3y+9
4x+12-3y-9=0
4x-3y+3=0
Two equations are
x+y-8=0. Eq1
4x-3y+3=0. Eq3
Multiple 4 on both sides of eq1
4(x+y-8)=0×4
4x+4y-32=0. eq2
Subtracting eq2-eq3
4x+4y-32-(4x-3y+3)=0
4x+4y-32-4x+3y-3=0
7y -35=0
7y=35
y=5
Putting value of x in eq 1
x+5=8
x=8-5
x=3
Hence fraction=x/y =3/5
Fraction=3/5
