Question

The difference of an integer x and 9 is - 1. Find the value of x​

Answer 1

Answer:

x-9=-1

x=-1+9

x=8

so,the answer is 8.

Answer 2

Given :–

• Difference between two integers x and 9 is – 1.

To Find :–

• Value of x.

Solution :–

Given that,

Difference between x and 9 is –1.

It means,

⟹ x – 9 = –1

We need to find the value of x.

So,

⟹ x = 9 – 1

⟹ x = 8

Hence,

The value of x is 8.

Check :–

Given,

⟹ x – 9 = –1 ---------(1)

• x = 8

Put the value of x in the equation (1).

⟹ 8 – 9 = –1

⟹ –1 = –1

Hence, both the L.H.S. and the R.H.S. are equal.

So, the value of x is 8 is correct.
