Answer:
(15+3)/6= the input
18/6= 3
since the output is three less than 6x the input, you need to add three. and if the output is 6 times the input after adding three, you have to divide by 6 to find out what the input originally was. you can check it by doing:
6*3= 18
and 18-3= 15 so it checks out.
