minus-squareColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down12·6 months agoDo that same math, but use .5555… instead of .9999…
minus-squareBeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·6 months agoHave you tried it? You get 0.555… which kinda proves the point does it not?
minus-squareWandering_Uncertainty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·6 months ago??? Not sure what you’re aiming for. It proves that the setup works, I suppose. x = 0.555… 10x = 5.555… 10x = 5 + 0.555… 10x = 5+x 9x = 5 x = 5/9 5/9 = 0.555… So it shows that this approach will indeed provide a result for x that matches what x is supposed to be. Hopefully it helped?

Not sure what you’re aiming for. It proves that the setup works, I suppose.
x = 0.555…
10x = 5.555…
10x = 5 + 0.555…
10x = 5+x
9x = 5
x = 5/9
5/9 = 0.555…
So it shows that this approach will indeed provide a result for x that matches what x is supposed to be.
