15

The equal sign is misleading since I don't think a straight formula is strictly correct since the two sides of the equation aren't actually equal.

However, a previous poster's equation (Vienna74) for the answer side of the puzzle is correct if the word "becomes" is inserted instead of "equals" and the xy on the left side does not mean x times y.

Damn, now I've even confused myself!

The answer is 8. It's the only number not mentioned in the sequence from 1 to 9.

Zero is not mentioned either. Maybe 80?
