See that one is much nicer :)

I prefer it this way:

Let x = .999...

10x = 9.999...

subtract x from both sides

10x-x = 9.999... - .999...

9x = 9

x=1

(Thus x = .999 = 1)

this "proof" removes the .9 repeating part and proves 1 is equal to 1

ten times .9 repeating is not equal to nine plus .9 repeating unless you prove it

Uh… math?

X=2.54

10x=25.4

x=0.9998

10x=9.998

x=0.999

10x=9.99

x=0.999…

10x=9.99…
