Find all integers X for which there exists an integer Y such that
1/X + 1/Y = 1/7
(In other words, find all ordered pairs of integers (X, Y) that satisfy this equation, then enter just the X's from these pairs.)

Short answer: How many digits are repeated? 2, exactly (1 and 5). So 2 digits, you have 99. If you have one digit repeated (like 0.3333...) then its 9.
So, because of its 99. The answer is 15/99. Try to get what I mean.
Long answer:
0.151515151515....
x = 0.151515151515...
100x = 15.1515151515..... (to get this equation you multiply the above by 100)
Based on the red above, use elimination.
99x = 15 (solve for x)
x = 15/99
