    the number is - 7.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    in order to solve this word problem we need to find the number that is 16 more than - 7times and will equal to 65.

    let the number be x

    -7times the number will be expressed as

    = - 7 * x

    = - 7x

    to find the number that is 16 more than - 7x

    -7x + 16 = 65

    we are going to collect the like terms

    -7x = 65 - 16

    -7x = 49

    divide both sides by - 7

    -7x/-7 = 49/-7

    x = - 7

    therefore the number is - 7.
