Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

If it gives a result of -4 then our equation will have .... = -4

 

If we subtract 9 from the quotient of a number and 5 we have  x/5 - 9

 

Our equation is:

 

x/5 - 9 = -4     add 9 to both sides

x/5 = -4 + 9

x/5 = 5           multiply both sides by 5

x = 5(5)

x = 25

Check:  25/5 - 9 = 5-9 = -4

           Answer checks as correct from information given
