Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume x = 0.99999... - Eq(1)

Multiplying Eq(1) with 10, we get

10x = 9.99999.... -Eq(2)

Multiplying Eq(2) with 10, we get

100x = 99.99999... -Eq(3)

Subtracting Eq(1) from Eq(3) we get

100x - x = 99.99999 - 0.99999

99x = 99.0

x = \dfrac{99}{99}

x = 1

we know that x = 0.99999

0.99999 = 1 (Hence Proved)
