The two equation which can be used to solve the problem are:

5n - 3d = 0 and 3n - 2d = -2

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

The numerator of the fraction is "n" and the denominator of the fractions is "d"

<em><u>The numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5</u></em>

numerator : denominator = 3 : 5

\frac{numerator}{denominator} = \frac{3}{5}

\frac{n}{d} = \frac{3}{5}

On cross-multiplication we get,

5n = 3d

<h3>5n - 3d = 0</h3>

This is our first equation

The numerator and denominator are both increased by 2, the fraction is now equal to 2/3

The new numerator will be n + 2 and denominator will be d + 2

\frac{n + 2}{d + 2} = \frac{2}{3}

On cross multiplication we get,

3(n + 2) = 2(d + 2)

3n + 6 = 2d + 4

<h3>3n - 2d = -2</h3>

This is our second equation

Thus the two equation which can be used to solve the problem are:

5n - 3d = 0 and 3n - 2d = -2
