Answer:

7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x= numerator

We know that :

Denominator= x+6

And

(numerator +2)/(denominator +2) = 3/5

So

(x+2)/(x+6+2)=3/5

(x+2)/(x+8)=3/5

(x+2)*5=(x+8)*3

5x+10=3x+24

2x=14

x=7

In the end

Numerator= x =7

Denominator=x+6 = 13

So the original number is 7/13

I hope this helps, have a beautiful day
