Let the numerator be X, then the denominator is 71-X.
Then (x+ 1)/(7 1-x)=2/7.
Then 2*(7 1-x)=7*(x+ 1)
Extension 142-2x=7x+7
9x= 135
X= 15 is 7 1- 15=56.
The original score is 15/56.
The fractional numerator plus 1 is three fifths, and the denominator minus 1 is four sevenths. What is the score?
Solution: let this score be a/b.
Then (a+ 1)/b=3/5.
a/(b- 1)=4/7
If a=32, then b=55.
The score is 32/55.
