We will simplify each expression and compare them.

For the first expression,

- 9 - 7n + 16n = - 9 + 9n = 9n - 9

For the second expression,

9(n - 9) = 9n - 81

For the third expression,

n - 9 + 8n = n + 8n - 9 = 9n - n

For the fourth expression,

9n - 9

Thus, we can see that the expression that is not equvalent to the other three is

B) 9(n - 9)
