Answer:

  115/198

Step-by-step explanation:

The repeat is 2 digits, so you can multiply the number by 10 to that power.

  x = 0.58080...(2-digit repeat)

  100x = 58.08080...(2-digit repeat)

Then subtract the original number.

  100x -x = 99x = 58.08080... -0.58080... = 57.5

Now, divide by the coefficient of x.

  x = 57.5/99 = 115/198

This fraction cannot be reduced, so is the fraction you're looking for.

  0.580...(2-digit repeat) = 115/198

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The number of 9s in the denominator is the number of repeating digits. If the repeat started at the decimal point, the fraction would be those two repeating digits divided by two 9s (99).

Your number can be considered to be ...

  0.58080...(2-digit repeat) = 0.5 + 0.0808...(2-digit repeat)

This will be ...

  0.58080... = 1/2 + 8/99 = 99/198 +16/198 = 115/198

algol [13]

Answer:

The two options are:

-3x² - 11x + 11 and 5x² + 3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

When two polynomials are subtracted the difference is

-4x² - 7x + 9

One of the polynomials is

x² - 4x + 2

To get the second polynomial, we an either add x² - 4x + 2 to -4x² - 7x + 9 or subtract -4x² - 7x + 9 from x² - 4x + 2

First Option:

(x² - 4x + 2) + (-4x² - 7x + 9)

= x² - 4x + 2 - 4x² - 7x + 9

= x² - 4x² - 4x - 7x + 2 + 9

= -3x² - 11x + 11

Secons Option:

(x² - 4x + 2) - (-4x² - 7x + 9)

= x² - 4x + 2 + 4x² + 7x - 9

= x² + 4x² - 4x + 7x + 2 - 9

= 5x² + 3x - 7

Therefore, the two options are:

-3x² - 11x + 11 and 5x² + 3x - 7

Degger [83]

Answer:

x = 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = 10

Multiply through by 4 to clear the fractions

2x + 3 = 40 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 37 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = \frac{37}{2} = 18.5
