Answer:

x=2 or x= 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative case: -(5x-7) = 3

Multiply

-5x+7 = 3

Rearrange and Add up

-5x = -4

Divide both sides by 5

-x = -(4/5)

Multiply both sides by (-1)

x = (4/5)

Then find the positive case: (5x-7) = 3

Rearrange and Add up

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

x = 2

Answer:

The original fraction is $\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator by X

Denominator is three more than its numerator i.e X +3

When both the numerator and denominator are increased by one the fraction becomes 1/2

$\frac{X + 1}{X+3+1} = \frac{1}{2} \\\frac{X+1}{X+4} = \frac{1}{2} \\2X + 2 = X+4\\X = 2$

Thus, numerator = 2

Denominator = X +3 = 2+3 = 5

The original fraction is $\frac{2}{5}$
