The denominator of a fraction exceeds the numerator by 2 .If 5 be added to the numerator the fraction increases by unity .Then what is the fraction :
\n" ); document.write( "Let n = numerator
\n" ); document.write( "then from \"denominator of a fraction exceeds the numerator by 2\" we have
\n" ); document.write( "n+2 = denominator
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We derive our equation from:\"If 5 be added to the numerator the fraction increases by unity\":
\n" ); document.write( "(n+5)/(n+2) = n/(n+2) + 1
\n" ); document.write( "multiplying both sides by (n+2)
\n" ); document.write( "(n+5) = n + (n+2)
\n" ); document.write( "n+5 = 2n + 2
\n" ); document.write( "5 = n + 2
\n" ); document.write( "3 = n (numerator)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Denominator:
\n" ); document.write( "n+2 = 3+2 = 5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Solution then is numerator/denominator: 3/5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
