You can put this solution on YOUR website! I can't understand question 1.
.
2)
Let n=numerator and d=denominator
(n-1)/d=2/3
3(n-1)=2d multiply each side by 3d
3n-3=2d
3n-2d=3
.
n/(d+5)=1/2
2n=d+5 multiply each side by 2(d+5)
2n-d=5
-4n+2d=-10 multiply each side by -2
.
3n -2d = 3
-4n+2d=-10
-----------------add
-n=-7
.
n=7
.
21-2d=3
-2d=-18
d=9
.
7/9 is the fraction.
