Call your number any variable, for example x. Then:
"A number": x
"The opposite of a number": -x
"Is": the equal sign.
"The opposite of a number is -9": -x = -9
3X=9 x=9/3 x=3
If you want to say "Nine is less than a number k," you would write 9<K. If you're asking for an equation, e.g. "Nine less than a number k is equal to that number divided by three," you would write k - 9.
When you are solving a 2-step equation, you do the opposite of a 1-step equation. You do addition and subtraction first, then the multiplication second. Example: 2x + 9=16 -9 -9 2x=7 Now it's a 1-step equation 2x=7 /2 /2 Your answer would be 3.5 To check all you do is replace the variable with your answer. 2x + 9=16 2(3.5) + 9=16
x/9=12 multiply both sides by 9, giving x=108 ____________________________________________________________________ To solve the problem 'x over nine equals twelve', you must first recognize that any number over another number (which includes variables) is a division problem. Thus, all fractions are division problems. You have to multiply by the reciprocal, and multiplication is the opposite of division, and the reciprocal in this case would be 9/1, or just 9. You must apply this to both sides of the equation, so x/9 times 9 is x, and 12 times 9 is 108. Therefore, x =108.

3X=9 x=9/3 x=3
2x = (9+3)
t + 9 = 54
+9
7+N=9
It is an equation: n - 9 = 9It is an equation: n - 9 = 9It is an equation: n - 9 = 9It is an equation: n - 9 = 9
The answer depends on which operation is used to define an opposite. For example, the opposite of 9 under addition is different to its opposite under multiplication.
9
half a number
13-n=9. i think.
a number sentence is for example.9+9=18 ,any mathematical equation
9
