The left-hand side of the given equation represents an integer. So, the right-hand side must also be an integer and thus we can write x=44n, for some integer n. We then have n=44m+r, where m,r are integers and 0≤r≤43. Therefore, the given equation can be transformed as
k=1∑9[k(m+44r)]⟺k=1∑9km+k=1∑9[44kr]=44m+r⟺m=44m+r=r−k=1∑9[44kr].
From the transformed equation above, it is clear that if we fix r, then a corresponding m can be determined uniquely. Therefore, there are 44 real solutions x of the given equation since there are 44 possible values r can take. Let us denote by S the sum of these 44 solutions x, and write mr for the value of m corresponding to r. Then we have
44S=r=0∑43(44mr+r)=r=0∑43(44(r−k=1∑9[44kr])+r)=r=0∑4345r−44r=0∑43k=1∑9[44kr]=45⋅243⋅44−44r=0∑43k=1∑9[44kr],
from which it follows that
S=245⋅43−r=0∑43k=1∑9[44kr]=21935−r=0∑43k=1∑9[44kr].
Now we let T be given by
T=r=0∑43k=1∑9[44kr]=r=1∑43k=1∑9[44kr]=k=1∑9r=1∑43[44kr],
then we have
2T=k=1∑9r=1∑43([44kr]+[44k(44−r)])=k=1∑9r=1∑43([44kr]+[k−44kr])
and
[44kr]+[k−44kr]≡{k,k−1,44kr is an integer44kr is not an integer
When k and r vary over 1≤k≤9, 1≤r≤43, respectively, the quantity 44kr takes an integer-value only when the pair (k,r) is one of the following 8 pairs: (4, 11), (8, 11), (2, 22), (4, 22), (6, 22), (8, 22), (4, 33), (8, 33). Therefore, we have
2T−8=k=1∑9r=1∑43(k−1)=k=1∑943(k−1)=43⋅29⋅8=1548.
From this it follows that T=21548+8=778, and we finally obtain that S=1935/2−778=379/2 as the desired answer.
