2n+15 = n -6 because sum means addition and difference means subtraction

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

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

n+15

We double the whole thing.

2(n+15)

This is equal to something.

2(n+15)=

Difference means you subtract.

2(n+15)=n-6.

Have a wonderful day! :D
