9c = 9

c = 1
---------------------------
This is what i did after those steps
d = 1

c = d

10d = 9.999...

10d-d = 9.999...-d

10d-d=9.9999...-1

9d=8.999...

9c=8.999....

c=8.999.../9 therefore c does not equal 1

Another way of doing it

c=.999...
10 x .999...=9.999...
10 x c=9.999...
c=.999



10d = 10
