| But mine is correct though. There should be an infinite amount of answers. The line to the equation is (The last one, you can see my work below to get one by itself):
XI+I=X
I=X-XI
I=X(1-I)
I/(1-I) = X | |

| HoF(what does it stand for?). I used simple algebra to get one variable on each side. You can enter that equation into a graphing calculator to get an answer. You wrote it wrong if they are roman numerals. You wrote eleven instead of nine
9=IX
11=XI | |

| Look at it upside down
So X=I+IX or 10=1+9 | |
