Answer

$13$.

Work Step by Step

Let the number is $x$. Twice a number is $=2x$. Subtract $2x$ from $35$ is equal to $9$. Mathematical equation is $\Rightarrow 35-2x=9$ Subtract $35$ from both sides. $\Rightarrow 35-2x-35=9-35$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -2x=-26$ Divide both sides by $-2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-26}{-2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=13$ Hence, the number is $13$
