The ratio of the numerator to denominator is two to three. If ten is added to the numerator and seven is subtracted from the denominator, then the new fraction has a ratio of two to one. What's the numerator and denominator?
--------
Original ratio:: 2x/3x
-----
Modified ratio::
(2x+10)/(3x-7) = 2
------
2x+10 = 6x-14
--------
4x = 24
x = 6
-------------
Numerator:: 2x = 12
Denominator:: 3x = 18
