| Chark said: 1 = 0.9... + ( 1 - 0.9...) 1 - 0.9... = x 1 = 0.9... + x I don't see how this is reconcilable. The absence of an answer is not an answer. In OP, wouldn't 9x = 8.9... not 9? |
I'm not sure if you want us to answer that equation or what. But x would equal (1 - 0.9...) which is 0.0000... which is 0. meaning 1 = 0.9....
Yes, 9x can equal 8.9999... and 9. This works because 8.999..... is equal to 8 + 0.99999 which is also 8 + 1.
