Let x represent the amount of newspaper Tom started with.

He Delivered 10 newspapers on Flinders Street, hence:

• = x - 10

He Delivered 6 newspapers on Collins Street, hence:

• = x - 10 - 6 = x - 16

He Picked up 20 newspapers from the newsagent and Delivered 15 newspapers on Lonsdale Street, hence:

• = x - 16 + 20 - 15 = x - 11

x = 20
