Question

the sum of the numerator and the denominator of a fraction is 9 if 3 is added to each of the numerator and denominator it's become 1/2find the fraction by elimination method​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that

denominator = y, numerator = X

So their sum

x+y = 9

y = 9-x

and if 3 is added to both their fraction become

\frac{x + 3}{y + 3} = \frac{1}{2}

y+3

x+3

=

2

1

Cross multiple

2x +6 = y +3

putting value of y

2x +6 = (9-x) +3

2x +6 = 9 - X +3

2x +X = 12 +6

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

y = 9-x

so, y = 9-6

y = 3
