1.	2 The difference of twonumbers i72 and the quotient otained by dividing the one by the other is3. Find the numbersThe numerator of a fraction is 6 less than the denominator.If 3 is added to the numerator,fraction is equal to y what is the original fraction?thes
Answer» Let the denominator be xthen, numerator = x-6 according to question , => (x-6)+3/x = 2/3=> (x-6+3)/x = 2/3=> (x-3)/x = 2/3 => 3(x-3) = 2x => 3x-9 = 2x => 3x-2x = 9=> x = 9. (denominator) numerator = x-6 => 9-6 = 3 then , fraction = 3/9

Answer»

Let the denominator be xthen, numerator = x-6

according to question ,

=> (x-6)+3/x = 2/3=> (x-6+3)/x = 2/3=> (x-3)/x = 2/3

=> 3(x-3) = 2x => 3x-9 = 2x => 3x-2x = 9=> x = 9. (denominator)

numerator = x-6 => 9-6 = 3

then , fraction = 3/9
