I look at it this way:
0.999... = (1 - 0.000....1)
2 * 0.999... = 2 - 0.000.....2
Yes?
In between 2 and (2 - 0.000....2) is the number 1.999....
2 * 1 = 2
2 =/= (2-0.000...2)
Divide both sides by zero with the division property of equality and you get:
1 =/= (1 - 0.000...1)
0.999... = (1 - 0.000....1)
2 * 0.999... = 2 - 0.000.....2
