    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
