Hey there!

We are assuming the number be
a

So, let's solve this problem, shall we?

Firstly, we would have to
divide by
-9 on each of your sides


(-9a)/(9) = (-72)/(-9) \\ \\ Cancel: -9a And-9 \\ \\ Keep: -72And 9 \\ \\ \\ (-72)/(9) = -8\\ \\ \\ Product/ Answer: -8

The number that is multiplied by
9 that gives you
-72 would most likely be:
-8

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
