You subtract 16 from each side of the equation.
Then it will say exactly what number 'n' is.
_______________________________________
The equation is n + 16 = 9
On the left side, you subtract 16 from (n + 16) and you have 'n'.
On the right side, you subtract 16 from 9 and you have -7 .
Now the equation says n = -7
