To solve the equation \(9x + 16 = 6x + 1\), we will first rearrange the equation to isolate \(x\).

1. Start by subtracting \(6x\) from both sides:

\[
9x - 6x + 16 = 1
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
3x + 16 = 1
\]

2. Next, subtract \(16\) from both sides:

\[
3x + 16 - 16 = 1 - 16
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
3x = -15
\]

3. Now, divide both sides by \(3\) to solve for \(x\):

\[
x = \frac{-15}{3}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x = -5
\]

Thus, the solution for \(x\) is

\[
\boxed{-5}
\]
