What's with all the + signs in the first post?
smaller ---- x
larger ----- 30-x
2x - 6 = 30-x
3x = 36
x=12
smaller is 12, larger is 30-x or 18
2nd:
I will assume you meant to type:
"The denominator of a fraction exceeds the numerator by 3"
so the original fraction is x/(x+3)
stated scenario:
(x-1)/x = 1/2
2x-2 = x
x = 2
the original numerator is 2, and the denominator is 5
that is, the fraction was 2/5
