+144

Step-by-step explanation:

This question needs deep thinking and understanding, it is possible to get this kind of question right and it is possible to get get it wrong as well ...

You have to know how to interpret questions well before solving it or else you will be doing the wrong thing

So back to the question, let's represent the unknown number as y

y is divided by-9 can be written as y/-9

And it gives - 16 it can be written as y/-9=-16

This is the interpretation of the question

To solve further, you have to cross multiply, that is

y=-16*-9

y=+144

There is positive sign because - * -=+, according to mathematics principle

Therefore the final answer is + 144
