6(15 + x) = 2x-7
or
6(15 + x) = 2(x-7)
The second half of the english statement is unclear, "twice" can equally validly be interpreted applying to "the same number" as it can to "the same number decreased by seven"

Shouldn't you be doing your own homework? How do you expect to learn anything if you have someone else do it for you?
