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 81 can be translated into
15 + 6t = 81
We can now solve this equation.
Let's add both sides of the equation by -15.
15 + 6t - 15 = 81 - 15
6t = 66
Divide both sides of the equation by 6.
6t / 6 = 66 / 6
t = 11

Therefore, the value of t is 11.

Hope this help yahhh!!
