Answer:


\large\boxed{n=(-23)/(11)=-2(1)/(11)}

Explanation:


(6)/(11)=(n+7)/(9)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\11(n+7)=(6)(9)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(11)(n)+(11)(7)=54\\\\11n+77=54\qquad\text{subtract 77 from both sides}\\\\11n=-23\qquad\text{divide both sides by 11}\\\\n=(-23)/(11)
