Lol what? How did you conclude that if 9x = 5 then x = 1? Surely you didn't pass algebra in high school, otherwise you could see that getting x from 9x = 5 requires dividing both sides by 9, which yields x = 5/9, i.e. 0.555... = 5/9 since x = 0.555....

Also, you shouldn't just use uppercase X in place of lowercase x or vice versa. Case is usually significant for variable names.
