(x + y = 29)
(y = 29 - x)
(5x + 2(29 - x) = 100)
(5x + 58 - 2x = 100)

Convert the fraction 7 24 into a repeating decimal.

goldenfox [79]

$\dfrac7{24}=\dfrac6{24}+\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac14+\dfrac1{24}$

$\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac1{8\time3}=\dfrac a8+\dfrac b3=\dfrac{3a+8b}{24}$
$\implies3a+8b=1$

We can choose $a=-1$ and $b=\dfrac12$ , so that

$\dfrac1{24}=-\dfrac18+\dfrac16$

Recalling that $\dfrac13=0.333\ldots$ , it follows that $\dfrac16=0.166\ldots$ . So,

$\dfrac1{24}=0.125+0.166\ldots=0.04166\ldots$
$\implies\dfrac7{24}=0.25+0.4166\ldots=0.29166\ldots$
