Answer:
9
Explanation:
Less means minus, so basically X ( something ) - 9 is 0
X - 9 = 0
You add 9 on each side
X = 0 + 9
X = 9
Basically, all you're doing is the reverse, you start with 0 and do the opposite of taking away 9 which is adding nine so that you get the number:
0 + 9 = 9
Hence the number is 9
