Lol what? How did you conclude that if 9x = 5 then x = 1? Surely you didn’t pass algebra in high school, otherwise you could see that getting x from 9x = 5 requires dividing both sides by 9, which yields x = 5/9, i.e. 0.555... = 5/9 since x = 0.555....
Also, you shouldn’t just use uppercase X in place of lowercase x or vice versa. Case is usually significant for variable names.
X=.5555…
10x=5.5555…
Subtract x from both sides.
9x=5
X=1 .5555 must equal 1.
There it isn’t. Because that math is bullshit.
x = 5/9 is not 9/9. 5/9 = .55555…
You’re proving that 0.555… equals 5/9 (which it does), not that it equals 1 (which it doesn’t).
It’s absolutely not the same result as x = 0.999… as you claim.
?
Where did you get 9x=5 -> x=1
and 5/9 is 0.555… so it checks out.
Quick maffs
