=============
The output of FindRoot[] when trying to find a root is like:

{x -> 0.49454545}

How can I convert that list, into the number 0.49454545?

In[1]:= FindRoot[x+9,{x,-5}]

Out[1]= {x -> -9.}

In[2]:= Head[%]

Out[2]= List

I can't seem to find any "normal" operations on the list which give me
the number.
