Let the number of new students that joined Amy's class be represented by \( x \).
Initially, there are 9 students in the class. After some new students join, the total number of students becomes 16.
We can write the equation as:
\[
9 + x = 16
\]
To find the number of new students \( x \), you can solve the equation:
\[
x = 16 - 9
\]
\[
x = 7
\]
So, 7 new students joined Amy's class.
