[tex]x = 11\frac{42}{99} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]11.42424242.... = 11. \overline{42} \\ let \: x = 11. \overline{42} .....(1)\\ 100x = 1142.\overline{42}....(2) \\ subtracting \: (1) \: from \: (2) \: \\ 100x - x = 1142.\overline{42} - 11. \overline{42} \\ 99x = 1131 \\ x = \frac{1131}{99} \\x = 11\frac{42}{99} \\ [/tex]
