Just a word of advice. You should make a habit of making checking your spelling, not using abbreviations, and using the correct words.
Otherwise you might annoy a tutor that would otherwise want to help you.
Let A and B be your two numbers.
1.A%2FB=3%2F4
When you add 6 then,
2.%28A%2B6%29%2F%28B%2B6%29=4%2F5
From eq. 1,
4A=3B
A=%283%2F4%29B
Substitute into eq. 2,
%28A%2B6%29%2F%28B%2B6%29=4%2F5
5%28A%2B6%29=4%28B%2B6%29
5A%2B30=4B%2B24
5A%2B6=4B
5%283%2F4%29B%2B6=4B
Multiply both sides by 4.
15B%2B24=16B
highlight%28B=24%29
Now use eq. 1 to solve for A.
A%2F24=3%2F4
highlight%28A=18%29
