Answer:
3/9
Explanation:
Let denominator =x
Let denominator =xthus numerator =x−6
Let denominator =xthus numerator =x−6By condition x-6+3 =3/2
x
3(x−3)=2x
3(x−3)=2x3x−9=2x
3(x−3)=2x3x−9=2xx=9
3(x−3)=2x3x−9=2xx=9So denominator =x=9
3(x−3)=2x3x−9=2xx=9So denominator =x=9thus numerator ⇒x−6=9−6=3
Original Fraction=3/9
