x + y = 15.

&, y = 2x + 3 which is equal to

2x - y = 3.

By elimination method you get x = 4 and y = 11.

Hence the fraction is 4/11

Answer 2

Answer: x=4 and y=11

Hence fraction =4/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let numerator=x and denominator=y

x+y=15 and y=2x+3

x+2x+3=15

3x+3=15

3x=12

x=4

y=2x+3

y=2×4+3

y=11
