Prove that 3.999... = 4
(In reply to
doin my part to balance the playing field by Josh70679)
(Josh yr very generous, helping us trying to beat yr world record comment list!)
So using that little bit of algebra I just came up with in my last comment, I can rework yr math...
let x = 0.999.... = 1-P
10x = 9.999... = 10-P
10x-x = 9x = 9-P
x = 1-P (still)
So my take is that you dropped yr P at the 9x=9 stage.
