Is 0.999999999…… equal to 1 ?

Of course not
but, I wonder how to explain following processes:


Set x=0.99999999999999……;
then 10x=9.99999999999……;
so that 10x - x = 9x = 9.99999999…… - 0.999999999…… = 9;
so x = 1;


Because 0.99999999999…… + 1 = 1.99999999999999……
because 0.99999999999…… + 0.99999999999…… = 1.999999999999……,too;
so that 0.99999999999…… = 1;

Why?
Who can tell me?
