Question

(1/2.3 + 1/3.4 + ... + 1/98.99 + 1/99.100).x =1/5

Answer 1

\(\left(\dfrac{1}{2.3}+\dfrac{1}{3.4}+\dfrac{1}{4.5}+...+\dfrac{1}{98.99}+\dfrac{1}{99.100}\right).x=\dfrac{1}{5}\\ =>\left(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{5}+...+\dfrac{1}{98}-\dfrac{1}{99}+\dfrac{1}{99}-\dfrac{1}{100}\right).x=\dfrac{1}{5}\\ =>\left(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{100}\right).x=\dfrac{1}{5}\\ =>\dfrac{49}{100}.x=\dfrac{1}{5}\\ =>x=\dfrac{1}{5}:\dfrac{49}{100}=\dfrac{1}{5}.\dfrac{100}{49}\\ =>x=\dfrac{20}{49}\)
