1/1.2 + 1/2.3 + ... + 1/x.(x+1) = 996/997
1 - 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3 + ... + 1/x - 1/x+1 = 996/997
1 - 1/x+1 = 996/997
1/x+1 = 1 - 996/997
1/x+1 = 1/997
=> x + 1 = 997
x = 997 - 1
x = 996
Vậy x = 996
\(=>1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+...+\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x+1}=\frac{996}{997}\)
\(=>1-\frac{1}{x+1}=\frac{996}{997}\)
\(=>\frac{x+1-1}{x+1}=\frac{996}{997}\)
\(=>\frac{x}{x+1}=\frac{996}{996+1}\)
=>x=996
\(\frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+...+\frac{1}{x\left(x+1\right)}=\frac{996}{997}\)
\(1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+...+\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x+1}=\frac{996}{997}\)
\(1-\frac{1}{x+1}=\frac{996}{997}\)
\(\frac{1}{x+1}=1-\frac{996}{997}\)
\(\frac{1}{x+1}=\frac{1}{997}\)
=> x + 1 = 997
=> x = 997 - 1
=> x = 996
