Question 1072318
If a number is added to the numerator of 9 Over 48 and twice the number is added to the denominator of 9 Over 48,the resulting fraction is equivalent to one fifth
. Find the number 
-----
Let the number be "x"::
(9+x)/(48+2x) = 1/5
--------
5(9+x) = 48+2x
45 + 5x = 48 + 2x
3x = 3
x = 1
