what is nine minus nine

Question

9-9

Answer 1

9-9 = 0

= zero

= a Big Fat Goose Egg, bigger than 3 extra large chicken eggs

= the number the ancients took years to recognize as a legit number,

(they were very picky), but it's very real, rational, and an integer to boot

if you're on a new date, dressed to the 9's and your date is dressed to the 9's

it all cancels out, in some perspective. it's a tie ball game, other things being equal, however impossible

or maybe you left out some parentheses

so that the problem really is/was

9(-9)

then

it = -81

a little different solution

or maybe that - sign was really a division sign. They're very similar except for 2 tiny dots above and below the - sign,

then

9/9 = 1

closer to zero but still a bit off

be careful copying the problem, or

sometimes there's a misprint in the problem itself

it happens, too often

when you post a problem like 9-9, a red flag goes up, alarm bells go off, signaling maybe something is wrorig with the problem, and the real problem is figuring out what the problem really is
