The denominator of a fraction is 3 more than its numerator.
When 12 is added to this fraction, the resulting fraction's denominator is twice the denominator of the original fraction and its numerator is 1 more than its denominator.
What is the numerator of the original fraction?

What is the numerator of the original fraction?
Let the fraction be \(\frac{a}{a+3}\)
\(\frac{a}{a+3}+12 =\frac{a+12(a+3)}{a+3}=\frac{13a+36}{a+3}=\frac{2(13a+36)}{2(a+3)}\)
