    49

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sum means add

    -9+n

    Multiply this by 1/2

    1/2 (-9+n)

    This is equal to 20

    1/2 (-9+n) = 20

    Solve

    Multiply each side by 2 to get rid of the fraction

    2*1/2 (-9+n) = 20*2

    -9+n = 40

    Add 9 to each side

    -9+9 + n = 40+9

    n = 49
