Call this "x" : 99+99+99+

Which simplifies to: 99+x

 

From this, we can set up the equations:
x=99+x

x2+9x=9

x2+9x9=0---> This quadratic equation had 2 solutions, one positive and one negative, for obvious reasons we can rule out the negative solution. This means that the positive solution is our answer:

x=9+3132

I appreciate your time!
