    Search on youtube "9 plus 10 meme" and you will see where this comes from. A meme that went viral of a kid answering '21' the correct answer is indeed 19.

    Maybe it does.

    Take this proof in to your math teacher:

    Given:

    x = 0.999...

    Therefore:

    10x = 9.999...

    Subtract the former from the latter:

    10x - x = 9x

    Using substitution:

    9.999... - 0.999... = 9

    Therefore:

    9x = 9

    Divide both sides of the equation by 9 to get the value of x:

    x = 1

    But wait. How can x = 1 if it's given that x = 0.999... at the top?

    Here's proof that 2 = 1

    a = b

    a^2 = ab

    a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2

    (a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)

    a+b = b

    b+b = b

    2b = b

    2 = 1
