Question

URGENT!!!!! PLZ HELP!!!!​

Answer 1

Answer:

7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator of a positive fraction is 2 less than its denominator. When both the numerator and the denominator are increased by 3, the new fraction is greater than the original one by 1/18. Find the original fraction.

Let's set the numerator as x. So, the denominator would be x+2.

Then, the fraction would be

x/(x+2)

Then, if both the numerator and denominator have 3 added to them, the new fraction would be (x+3) / (x+2+3)

And, this is 1/18 greater than the original fraction. So, we can write this equation.

x / (x + 2) + 1/18 = (x + 3) / (x + 5)

I wrote the rest on paper so it is easier to understand.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!
