begin mathsize 16px style Let space the space fraction space be space straight x over straight y
Acoording space to space the space conditions comma
straight x space plus space straight y space equals space 2 space plus 2 space straight x
rightwards double arrow straight x space minus space straight y space equals space minus 2 space space....... left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis
fraction numerator straight x space minus space 3 space over denominator straight y space minus space 3 space end fraction space equals space 3 over 4
rightwards double arrow 4 straight x space minus space 12 space equals space 3 straight y space minus space 9
rightwards double arrow 4 straight x space minus space 3 straight y space equals space 3 space space....... left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis
Multiply space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis space space by space 4 comma space we space get
4 straight x space minus 4 space straight y space equals space minus 8 space space....... left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis
Subtract space left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis space from space left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis comma space we space get
straight y space equals space 11 space and space put space the space value space of space straight y space in space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis comma space we space get space straight x space equals space 9
Therefore comma space the space fraction space is space 9 over 11.
