Answer 4

Okay, so what you're supposed to do is this:

Let x = 0.123333...

Answer 5

Then multiply both sides of that by 100 to get

100x = 12.3333...

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

Then take x = 0.123333.... and multiply both sides by 1000, so you have

1000x = 123.3333....

Answer 8

Then subtract 1000x - 100x in the following manner:

1000x = 123.3333...
-100x = 12.3333...
____________________
900x = 111.0000...

Answer 9

You can basically re-write it simply as

900x = 111

Then you continue solving for x by dividing both sides by 900.
