IX in Arabic numerals is 9.

Roman numerals use seven basic symbols: I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1000. When reading from left to right, if a smaller symbol comes before a larger one, it subtracts (e.g., IV = 4). Otherwise, symbols add up, which happens in this case.

Step-by-step conversion of IX:

1. I = 1 → subtracted because it comes before a larger numeral (X = 10).

2. X = 10 → added as normal value.

Final result: -1 +10 = 9 → 9.
