Answer» Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Let the numerator be x and the DENOMINATOR be y Given that numerator of a fraction is 7 less than its denominator Therefore, x+7=y ------(1) Given that if the denominator increased by 9 and the numerator by 2 then the fraction is 2/3 Therefore, X+2/y+9 = 2/3 ⟹3x+6=2y+18 ⟹3x−2y=12 ⟹3x−2(x+7)=12 ⟹x−14=12 ⟹x=26 ⟹y=26+7=33 (from (1)) Therefore, the fraction is 26/33 hope it is HELPFUL to you
