let x be the number
\n" ); document.write( "9 is added to that number
\n" ); document.write( " it becomes 9+x
\n" ); document.write( "on dividing the sum by 16, it becomes finally 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%289%2Bx%29%2F16=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " multiply with 16 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28%289%2Bx%29%2F16%29%2A16++=+1%2A16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " 9+x= 16
\n" ); document.write( " subtract 9 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " 9+x-9 = 16-9
\n" ); document.write( " x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "Result : number we are looking for is 7
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
