Say x = 0.999...

Then

10x = 9.999...

Take away x from each side (9.999... - 0.999... = 9)

9x = 9

x = 1

Why? Because it's a number infinitely close to 1. Therefore it is 1.

"Because it's a number infinitely close to 1."

Yeah, but it isn't 1 is it??

It literally IS 1.

;o

0.999 < 1
0.99999999999999 < 1
0.999... < 1

End...

No, it is not the end. It may be hard to understand, but anything that's infinitely close to something _is_ that thing.

New topic: what does 1/0 equal?

To me, anything/0 = i.
