10x = 9.999 repeating
10x-x = 9.999 repeating - .999 repeating

A decimal is not at all an estimation. Each one specifies a specific value. You can have a decimal specifying a value which ITSELF is an approximation (ie, 3.14159 ~= pi), but as I said, it is the value which is an approximation here, not the decimal - the decimal is specifying one single real number.
