its like saying x-6=9. Think, something minus 6 will equal nine.
That number is 15.

I imagine you are learning about basic equations. The main thing to remember about all equation (even the harder ones when you get older) is that they must 'balance'. Think of a set of balance sales where the = sign represents the pivot on the scales. So 9 must 'balance' x-6. If you add or subtract anything from one side of the scales, you must do the same to the other side to keep the scales balanced. So,for convenience, if we add 6 to the x-6 side, we get x-6+6. in other words x. But if we do this, we must do the same to the other side. So we must add 6 to the 9 which equals 15.
So we get x = 15
If you apply this rule to any equation, you won't go far wrong. Good luck!

9=x-6 add 6 to each side
9+6=x-6+6 combine like terms
15=x or x=15

Add six to each side of the equation:
9 + 6 = x - 6 + 6
15 = x + 0
x = 15

9=x-6
x = 9+6
(you add six to both sides as that will cancel out the -6 on the side you want to get rid of it and move it to the other
side)
so x = 15

x = 15 (to find x, add 6 to 9)

9=x-6...so what equals 9 when 6 is taken away from it?
which is the same as 9+6 which is 15.
15 is the answer.
