    ???

    Not sure what you’re aiming for. It proves that the setup works, I suppose.

    x = 0.555…

    10x = 5.555…

    10x = 5 + 0.555…

    10x = 5+x

    9x = 5

    x = 5/9

    5/9 = 0.555…

    So it shows that this approach will indeed provide a result for x that matches what x is supposed to be.

    Hopefully it helped?
