Answer:

t = 11

Explanation:

Before we can solve this word problem, we have to translate first this problem into numerical form. The sum of fifteen and six times a number t is eighty-one can be translated into

15 + 6t = 81

Let's subtract 15 from both sides of the equation .

15 + 6t - 15 = 81 - 15

6t = 66

Divide both sides of the equation by 6.

6t / 6 = 66 / 6

t = 11
