solution:
x+2/y+1 =1 i.e, x-y+1=0;--------(1)
x+4/y+2 =1/2 i.e., 2x-y+6=0;---------(2)
solving 1 and 2...we get x= -5 and y= -4
answer is 5/4...

NAVNEET KUMAR SABRE  (7 years ago)

let numerator=x and denominator=y
according to question,
(x+2)/(y+1)=1
=>x+2=y+1
=>x-y= -1....................................(eq 1)
and

(x+2+4)/(y+1+2)=1/2
=>(x+6)/(y+3)=1/2
=>2x+12=y+3
=>2x-y= -9..................................(eq2)

solving equation 1&2,we get
x= -8 & y= -7

so fraction is
-8/-7 =8/7.............answer..:)

Sunitha Kalisetti  (9 years ago)

x+2/y+1=1
x+2=y+1
x-y=-1

so, the ans is -8/-7

x-y=-1
-8+7=-1
thats y ans is -8/-7...

puja kumari  (8 years ago)

let numerator=x and denominator=y
so (x+2/y+1)=1 ie
x-y+1=0 ------(1)
and again add 4 and 2 in numerator and denominator
2x-y+9=0 ------(2)
and by solving 1 and 2 eqation we get ,
x/y=8/7

Santosh Kumar  (8 years ago)

n+2/d+1=1 =>n+1=d
n+1/d+2=1/2 =>d=2n+6
so n+1=2n+6 =>n=-5
and substituting the values of n d=-4
so n/d=5/4
