The denominator of a fraction is 7 more than the numerator.If 1 is added to the numerator and 6 is added to the denominator,the value of the fraction will be 1/2.Find the numerator and denominator. Sorry again i sent the question wrong.
Fraction is x / x + 7
1 is added to numerator and 6 is added to denominator the fraction is 
x + 1 / (x + 7) + 6

Fraction becomes x + 1 / x + 13 which is equal to 1 / 2
