Answer:

n = 2

Explanation:

In order for the ratio to have a value of 1, the sum of exponents in the numerator must equal the sum of exponents in the denominator:

n + 7 = 9

n = 9 -7 . . . . . . subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

n = 2

___

Alternatively, you can simplify the given expression:


(9^n(9^7))/(9^9)=1=(9^n)/(9^2)

Hopefully, it is clear to you that the value of n must be 2 in order to make the numerator equal to the denominator.
