When 1≤n≤6, [n/7]=[n/9]=0
When 9≤n≤13, [n/7]=[n/9]=1
When 18≤n≤20, [n/7]=[n/9]=2
When n=27, [n/7]=[n/9]=3

Total possible value of n= 6+5+3+1=15

We see that when n is any integer from 1 to 6, inclusive, then [n/7] = 0 = [n/9]. Similarly, when n is any integer from 9 to 13, inclusive, then [n/7] = 1 = [n/9]; when n is any integer from 18 to 20, inclusive, then [n/7] = 2 = [n/9]; and lastly, when n = 27, [n/7] = 3 = [n/9].

Therefore, there are 6 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 15 integer values for n.
