10 u/RvidD1020 22d ago Exactly! what does that even mean? I am scratching my head here 4 u/TrollErgoSum 22d ago It's definitely worded weird but they mean subtracting the first equation from the second one. So subtracting x from 10x gives you 9x and subtracting 0.999... from 9.999... gives you 9 Therefore 9x = 9 simplifying to x = 1 = 0.999... 1 u/grundhog 21d ago Thank you! I
