Answer:
let numerator be x
denominator be y
y=2x+4
(x-6)/(y-6)=x/12x
(x-6)/(y-6)=1/12
(x-6)/2x-2)=1/12
12x-72=2x-2
10x=70
x=7
y=18
original fraction is 7/18.....
hope it helps..........

Answer:
The fraction is 7/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Numerator be x
Denominator be (2x + 4)
fraction is x/(2x + 4)
According to question
⇒ 12 (X - 6) = 2x + 4 - 6
⇒ 12x - 72 = 2x - 2
⇒ 12x - 2 = -2 + 72
⇒ 10x = 70
⇒ x = 70/10
⇒ x = 7
Numerator = 7
Denominator = 2x + 4
⇒ 2 × 7 + 4
⇒ 14 + 4
⇒ 18
Fraction =
Numerator/ Denominator
7/18
