In a fraction, the numerator is (3) less than the denominator. If (2) is added to the numerator and (1) to the denominator, the fraction becomes (\frac{3}{4}). What is the original fraction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\frac{7}{10})
Let the numerator be (x) and denominator be (y), giving (y-x=3) and (\frac{x+2}{y+1}=\frac{3}{4}). In exams, solve the simple linear equations after cross multiplication.
