    10x - x = 9.999... - x
    9x = 9.999... - 0.999...
    9x = 9
    x = 1

    ----------

    Does it seem logical to subtract an infinite from an infinite?
    its not infinite, its a number between 0 and 1, that cant be infinite¬¬
    and yea, that logic is correct, its what you do to turn a periodic dizim into fraction(or how the hell you call it in english), take for example 0.363636363636363636....

    x=0.363636363636..
    100x=36,36363636...
    100x-x=36
    x=36/99

          it is true. there is nothing in between 0.(9) and 1

            1/3 = 0.3333333...
            1/3 = 0.3333333...
            1/3 = 0.3333333...

            Add it up

            1 = 0.99999999....

            Put it this way....what do you have to add to 0.99999....to get to 1? You have to add 0.000000....000000001 but with an infinite number of zeros.

            The real thing that's going on here is that (bar) repeating decimal is a representation of something that's not otherwise possible to write with decimals....so it does weird things.

              This has some of the proofs already mentioned but I'm not sure if there is a definitive one.

                  ok, so someone tell me in what way it matters that 0.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99 is or is not the same as 1.

                      If Guy A has a penis that is 0.999.... units long and Guy B has a penis that is 1 unit long, no matter how insignificant the difference is, they'll still think it matters

                        1/3 x 3 = 1
                        with that in mind,
                        1/3 = .3333333333333333333333333
                        therefore,
                        .33333333333333333333333333333 x 3 = .9999999999999999999999
                        which means,
                        .9999999999999999999999999999 = 1

                            whoever has only a penislength of 0.999 units should go cry in a dark room and not argue about it.
