Answer» the Numerator be X and denominator be y •x=y-3 =x-y=-3 ------1 ×2 •x+2 1 -------- = ---- y+5 2
=2x+4=y+5 =2x-y=5-4 =2x-y=1 --------2 Adding 1 nd 2 2x-2y=-6 2x-y= 1 - + - ------------- y= -7 ➡ denominator putting VALUE in 1 we get x-y=-3 x-(-7) =-3 x+7=-3 x=-3-7 x=-10 ➡Numerator Fraction=x -7 7 ---- = ------ = ------ y -10 10 HOPE IT HELPS!☺ |
