Required

Get the equivalent of the given statement

Let the number be represented by x

So:

Sum of a number and 6 will be:

`Sum =x + 6`

The absolute value will be:

`Absolute = |x + 6|`

Three times this will be:

`Product = 3 * |x + 6|`

This can be further represented as:

`Product = 3 |x + 6|`

Hence, the equivalent of the given statement is
`3|x + 6|`
