Suppose numerator = x

Also, denominator= y
Thus, the Fraction become,
=xy From first condition of question,
x+y=2x+4
y=x+4 .......(1)
From second condition of question,
x+3y+3=23
3x+9=2y+6
3x-2y=-3 .......(2)
Put this value of y in equation (2) from equation (1)
3x-2x+4=-3
3x-2x-8=-3
x=5
Put this value in equation (1),
y=5+4
y=9
So, the fraction become,
xy=59
