Hello Angel

 

six times the sum of a number and 15 is −42

 

number = x

 

six times the sum of a number and 15= 6 *( x+15)

 

six times the sum of a number and 15 is −42

 

6 *( x +15) = -42

6x +90 = -42

 

6x= -42-90

 

6x= -132

 

x= -22

 

Answer 2

6(N+15) = -42

 

N+15 = -7

 

N = -22
