Question

the sum of the numerator and denominator of a fraction is 15 the denominator is 3 more than twice the numerator find the fraction (using linear equation in 2 variable)​

Answer 1

Answer:

4/11

Step-by-step explanation:

let fraction be p/q

p+q=15 ............(1)

3+2p=q ............(2)

putting equation (2) in (1)

p+3+2p=15

3p+3=15

p+1=5

p=4

putting value of p in equation (1)

q=3+2(4)

q=11

p/q = 4/11
