So say 2.9999999999......   is  'x'

then 10x   is  29.999999999999....

 

Now, I think we will all agree   10x - x = 9x    Soooooooo   Let's substitute

 

10x - x  =  9x

29.9999999......  -   2.99999999....   =   27  =  9x     Solve for 'x' by dividing both sides by '9'

 

3 = x       But our original assumption was x = 2.999999999.....

 

Therefore   2.9999999.....  =   3        Haha!
