The substitution property of equality is a part of its definition; you can substitute anywhere.

Similarly, 1/3 = 0.3333…
So 3 times 1/3 = 0.9999… but also 3/3 = 1
Another nice one:
Let x = 0.9999… (multiply both sides by 10)
10x = 9.99999… (substitute 0.9999… = x)
10x = 9 + x (subtract x from both sides)
9x = 9 (divide both sides by 9)
x = 1

No option to disable… that I found, that is.
Mine provides a connection, but doesn’t expose ports on v6. So I can access v6 services but can’t self-host any.
Netanyahu only wants one thing, and it’s to stay in power for as long as possible. If a regional war gives that to him (via Ben-Gvir), he won’t mind.
Edit: He currently holds a parliamentary majority. If he agrees to a ceasefire, the more extreme members of his coalition will no-confidence him together with the opposition. And, as it stands right now, he has no chance of participating in the next government.
Before timezones and trains, each town had its own natural time (based on the sun or whatever). Would you have preferred that?
For any
a
,b
,c
, ifa = b
andb = c
, thena = c
, right? The transitive property of equality.For any
a
,b
,x
, ifa = b
, thenx + a = x + b
. The substitution property.By combining both of these properties, for any
a
,b
,x
,y
, ifa = b
andy = b + x
, it follows thatb + x = a + x
andy = a + x
.In our example,
a
isx'
(notice the'
) andb
is0.999…
(by definition).y
is10x'
andx
is9
. Let’s fill in the values.If
x' = 0.9999…
(true by definition) and10x = 0.999… + 9
(true by algebraic manipulation), then0.999… + 9 = x' + 9
and10x' = x' + 9
.If you actually change any of the sides. Since, after substitution, the numeric value doesn’t change (literally the definition of equality), I don’t have to do anything – as I’m not rearranging. I’m merely presenting the same value in an equivalent manner. By contrast, when multiplying both sides by 10, since multiplication by 10 changes the concrete numeric value, I have to do it on both sides to maintain the equality relation (ditto for subtracting
x'
). But substitution never changes a numeric value – only rearranges what we already know.(Edit)
