Let the numerator = x and the denominator = y
So.....we have this system
[ x + 6 ] / y = [ x / y] + 1
[ x ] / [ y + 36] = [ x / y] - 1
Looking at the first equation, we can write
[ x + 6] / y = [ x + y ] / y multiply through by y
x + 6 = x + y implies that y = 6
Subbing this into the second equation, we have that
[ x] / [ 6 + 36] = [ x / 6] - 1
[x ] / 42 = [ x - 6] / 6 cross-multiply
6x = 42 [ x - 6]
6x = 42x - 252
-36x = - 252
x = 7
So the original fraction is x / y = 7 / 6
