Question 939369: I add 9 to a certain number and divide the sum by 16. If my final answer is 1 what is the number

Answer by srinivas.g(540) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x be the number
9 is added to that number
it becomes 9+x
on dividing the sum by 16, it becomes finally 1

multiply with 16 on both sides

9+x= 16
subtract 9 on both sides
9+x-9 = 16-9
x = 7
Result : number we are looking for is 7
