    Assuming that the right statement is that if a certain number is added to both the numerator and the numerator of the fraction 7/6, the result is 3/2, find the number, the solution if found in this way:

    Call x the number (certain number)

    => (7+x) / (6 + x) = 3/2

    => (7 + x) * 2 = 3 * (6 + x)

    => 14 + 2x = 18 + 3x

    => 14 - 18 = 3x - 2x

    => - 4 = x

    verification> (7 - 4) / (6 - 4) = 3 / 2

    Answer: the number is - 4.
