The denominator of a fraction is 2, more than twice the numerator. If 7 is added to both the numerator and the denominator the new fraction would be equivalent to 2/3. Determine fhe original fraction.

original: x/(2x+2)

now add 7 to both top and bottom. It is equal to 2/3.
OK, so lets call the numerator n. The denominator is 7 more than twice the numerator. Put into an equation, it would look like this.

n/2n+7

You add 7 to both, and it will look like this:

n+7/2n+14

You should be able to solve from here.
