Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Sum means to add. Let's call our number n.

n+15

We multiply this whole thing by 6.

6(n+15)

And this is -42.

6(n+15)=-42

We use distributive property to undo the parentheses.

6n+90=-42

We subtract 90 from both sides.

6n=-132

We divide both sides by 6.

n=-22.

Have a wonderful day! :D
