the sum of the numerator and denominator of a fraction is 8. if three is added to both of the numerator and denominator ,the fraction becomes 3/4. find the fraction About the author Claire
let the numerator be x so denominator will be (8-x) if 3 is added to both new denominator = 11-x new numerator = x +3 (x+3)/(11-x) = 3/4 4x+12 = 33-3x 7x= 21 x= 3 so the original fraction is 3/5. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ✌️✌️ Reply

if 3 is added to both
new denominator = 11-x
new numerator = x +3
(x+3)/(11-x) = 3/4
4x+12 = 33-3x
7x= 21
x= 3
so the original fraction is 3/5.
