a number divided by -9 is -16

Question

 it is about math, and im not sure how to answer so yeah.

 

Answer 1

x = the number

 

x/(-9) = -16

 

x = (-9)(-16) = ?

 

Can you finish from here?

Answer 2

n/(-9)=-16

multiply both sides by -9

(-9)(n/(-9))=(-9)(-16)

one operation undoes the other so the left side becomes "n"  (multiplication undoes division)

n=144
