Answer
$9$
Work Step by Step
We rewrite the given ratio as a fraction: $\frac{9x-9y}{x-y}$
Next, we find a common factor that is in both the numerator and the denominator, and factor it out: $\frac{9(x-y)}{1(x-y)}$
When you divide any number by itself, you get $1$. Therefore, we can cancel out the common factor. This leaves us with $\frac{9}{1}=9$.
