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

:)

( sorry if I misunderstood )
