let Andy has \(3x\) pens, and Bob has \(7x\) pens, and Bob gave \(y\) pens to Andy
\(\frac{3x+y}{7x-y} = \frac{2}{3}\)
so \(y = x\), and fraction of his pens did Bob gave to Andy =\(\frac{y}{7x} = \frac{x}{7x} = \frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{3x+y}{7x-y} = \frac{2}{3}\)
so \(y = x\), and fraction of his pens did Bob gave to Andy =\(\frac{y}{7x} = \frac{x}{7x} = \frac{1}{7}\)

Let the number of pens be some multiple of (3+7) or 10, say 100.
so A:B=30:70....
After B gave some pens, it becomes 2:3 or 40:60. Clearly B gave 70-60 or 10.
10 as fraction of 70 =\(\frac{10}{70}=\frac{1}{7}\)
ALGEBRAIC
A:B = 3:7 or 3x:7x
Let B gives y pens, so (3x+y):(7x-y)=2:3..
\(\frac{(3x+3y)}{(7x-y)}=\frac{2}{3}\)..
\(9x+3y=14x-2y\)
\(5x=5y....x=y\)
So y as a fraction of 7x => \(\frac{y}{7x}=\frac{x}{7x}=\frac{1}{7}\)
