10 = 9.99999..

x = 9.999999...
10x = 99.999999...
10x - x = 90

Explain to me why this does not disprove all of mathematics instead of prove that 10 = 9.999999.....?

Shit might be bait, idk, but it's because if given x+x+...+x (n times) = nx, we suppose that n is not a function of x.

But if it is, then we need to apply product rule to n(=x in your case), giving us

Infinity is unachievable. You'll never have anything but a finite amount of numbers in a repeating decimal. If you subtracted some significant amount from a to reduce it to 0.999
a=0.999
10a=9.990
9a = 10a-a = 8.991
a = 8.991÷9 = 0.999
You may then increment a by one more 9 and do the problem again, and continue doing this infinitely, and always get the same answer for a as you started with.

Even if you have an infinite amount of 9's from 0.999... (which you can't, but w/e), multiplying it by 10 reduces the amount of 9's after the decimal. Subtract 0.999... and you're back to having an infinite amount of digits in the decimal where the last value within the infinite, not after the infinite, is 1.

This assumes infinity is a quantity that can be obtained as well as it being a number since it relies on [math]1-x^{\infty}[/math], which means we can just as easily rewrite as [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{9}{10^n}[/math] where the infinite partial sum is 0 and irrelevant to the sum total meaning all summable work occurred before n=infinity, yet any test of real n doesn't provide an infinite amount of 9's.

It actually relies on [math]1-x^{\infty +1}[/math] since [math](1-x)(1 + x + x^2 + x^3) = 1-x^4[/math], so the end of the sequence at [math]\cdots + x^{\infty}[/math] means altogether it's [math]1-x^{\infty +1}[/math], which directly invokes the undefinable vagueness property of accuracy loss by having used infinity when it doesn't even exist, since infinity+1 is not different from infinity by itself.

Right, but that doesn't matter. There are also an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1, but you're not treating them with unique identities there are you?

Your arguement is 0.999... = 1 because there is no positive value to add to 0.999... that will equate 1. The argument in total is that 1 = 1 billion because there is no positive value to add to 1 that will equate 1 billion. Both 1 and 1 billion share the same value identity of 0.

You believe no number r exists, that the value identity of r must then not be one of a positive number, but instead 0. R itself isn't "0", just that, because you believe there is no r here, the r of the problem has zero relevance.

Now, for 1 < r < 1,000,000,000 ; no r exists here either. There is no positive value r to add to 1, so the valuable identity of r is 0.

Generally in proper mathematical circles, 0.999... (repeating) can be identified in various ways. One can think of it as a decimal expansion. A decimal expansion is a function f : N -> {0, 1, ..., 9}

There is literally no real number you knob gobbler.

There can only be a finite amount of 9's in the number you pretend to hope has an infinite amount of 9's, and there will always exist a real number between it and 1 that in the very least just has one more 9 in it. Thats the fact.
You presume one value equals the other because you think it is touching it, but one planck length touches another yet these are not assumed to be the same planck length. No value of distance can exist between two touching planck lengths.

So you argue that there are infinite real numbers and none of them equal infinity, and you argue there are an infinite amount of 9's in 0.999..., yet also aren't intelligent enough to rationalize that the infinite 9's are relateable to infinite numbers, and since infinity is not a real number, there does not exist a real number 0.999... with infinite 9's.

Your argument is that you are literally retarded?

That is actually true. The number of nines in 0.999 repeating is infinite therefore it's not a real number but 0.999 repeating itself is a real number.

Take some intro college math courses. Again, it should be pretty easy to see:

The size of the set N, the set of Natural Numbers, does not equal any Natural Number. In colloquial terms, the set has infinite size.

N does not contain the element "infinity".

This should all be amazingly straightforward and obvious.

One way to define a sequence of infinite '9's is simply a function from naturals to digits, f, where f is a constant function, f(x) = 9.

This is all quite elementary, obvious, and covered in low-level college courses, i.e. Real Analysis.

If you assume the limit is never reached, there will only ever be a finite amount of 9's in a.

If you assume the linit can be reached, you get the partial sum of 0 which is irrelevant to the total sum, therefore reaching infinity was too much. Backtrack to any sum before n=infinity, and you only have a finite amount of 9's.

No infinite repetition.

There are infinite real numbers, and none of them equal infinity.

You can map all the number integers from 0 to arbitrary greatness as real numbers between 0 and 1

Because infinity doesn't exist in the real numbers, all the real numbers between 0 and 1 are not infinite, and are perfectly mappable to all the real number integers between 0 and arbitrary greateness

That doesn't follow from what you're saying. Why does it matter if "only all real numbers" exist in [0,1)? Do you think that infinitely repeating decimals aren't real? The interval has no greatest element, just like [math][0,\infty)[/math] has no greatest element. For any finite sequence of 9's, you can add any number at the end to get something between it and one.

So once again. By definition, there are no two real numbers that are infinitely close and not equal. That's because if two real numbers are not equal then you can always find a real number that is in between the two.

Now, let's suppose we have some number [math]k[/math] such that [math]0.\bar{9} < k < 1[/math]
If such [math]k[/math] exists then [math]0.\bar{9} \neq 1[/math]
The problem is that no such real [math]k[/math] exists.

Let [math]f(x) = \sum_{n = 1}^{x}\frac{9}{10^n}[/math]
For any real [math]k[/math] such that [math]k < 1[/math] you can find [math]x[/math] such that [math]f(x) > k[/math]

Because there is no real [math]k[/math] there are no real numbers between [math]0.\bar{9}[/math] and [math]1[/math]
Because there are no real numbers between [math]0.\bar{9}[/math] and [math]1[/math] that means they must be equal.

If there exists a value to bridge the gap between 0.999... and 1 thus allowing 0.999... = 1, there also exists a value to bridge the gap between real numbers and infinity, thus allowing infinity to be equal to a real number.
If there exists no value to bridge the gap between 0.999... and 1 thus assuming 0.999... = 1, there also exists no value to bridge the gap between real numbers and infinity, thus allowing a real number to be equal to infinity.

Because the value does not actually exist and infinity cannot be reached, there is no possible value to add to 0.999... to make it reach 1; it will never reach 1. No amount of increments in the reals will reach infinity, so no mapped amount of increments between 0.9 and 1 will reach 1.

0.999... is not "infinitely close" to 1. It is actually infinitely far away from 1. Any arithmetic that shows 0.999... = 1 is therefore flawed by making inconsistent and flawed assumptions about the construction of a repeating decimal extended from a flawed interpretation of infinity.
