The answer to this equation is x=5.
<span>Let x = 0.5333333333 ...
So 100x = 53.3333333333 ...
and 10x = 5.3333333333 ...
---------------------------------
90x = 53 – 5 = 48.
So x = 48/90 = 8/15 after reduction to lowest terms (by factor of 6)
0.3333... = ⅓. and that 0.5 = ½.
So 0.533333... = 0.5 + 0.0333333...0.5 + 0.3333.../10 = 1/2 + (1/3)/10 = 1/2 + 1/30 = 16/30 = 8/15</span>
Your answer is d, or the fourth option! hope this helped!
