Let the given number be 'x',

\begin{gathered} x=0.4\bar{5} \\ x=0.45555555\ldots\ldots \end{gathered}

Multiply both sides by 10,

\begin{gathered} 10x=4.\bar{5} \\ 10x=4.5555555\ldots\ldots \end{gathered}

Subtract the equations,

\begin{gathered} 10x-x=4.5555\ldots-0.45555\ldots \\ 9x=4.5+0.0\bar{5}-(0.4+0.0\bar{5}) \\ 9x=4.5+0.0\bar{5}-0.4-0.0\bar{5} \\ 9x=4.1 \\ 9x=\frac{41}{10} \\ x=\frac{41}{90} \end{gathered}

Thus, the recurring decimal number is equivalent to the fraction,

0.4\bar{5}=\frac{41}{90}

Solve for x: 12-2x=-2(y-x)
a_sh-v [17]
12 - 2x = -2(y - x)

12 - 2x = -2y - (-2x)

12 - 2x = -2y + 2x

12 - 2x - 2x = -2y + 2x - 2x

12 - 4x = -2y

12 - 12 - 4x = -2y - 12

-4x = -2y - 12

-4x/4 = -2y/4 - 12/4

-x = -0.5y - 3

-x/-1 = -0.5y/-1 - 3/-1

x = 0.5y + 3

or

x = 3 + 0.5y
