    0.999...(infinite amount of "9's") is a number. Let's call that number x. So x = 0.999...
    Multiply this equatation by 10:

    x = 0.999... (1)
    10x = 9.999... (2)

    Subtract the former from the latter [(2) from (1)]:

    10x = 9.999...
    -x = 0.999...
    9x = 9.000...
    Solving, we get x = 1, so 0.999... = 1.

    Yeah, why not? It's close enough anyway.
