Answer:  21/99

Work Shown:

x = 0.212121...

100x = 21.212121....

Subtract the equations straight down. This means we subtract the left hand sides together, and the right hand sides are handled separately.

  • Left hand sides: 100x-x becomes 99x
  • Right hand sides: 21.212121.... - 0.212121... becomes 21

After those sets of subtractions, we are left with 99x = 21.

This solves to x = 21/99 when dividing both sides by 99 to isolate x.

Therefore, 21/99 = 0.212121...
