Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call our mystery number n.

We have fifteen times this n, which we can write as 15n.

This is being decreased from something. This means we are subtracting it, so we now have -15n.

This is being decreased from 16, so our final result is 16-15n.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Steve sells half of his comic books and then buys 6 more now he has 14 comic books

ddd [48]

Let b be the initial amount of books. Steve sells half of his books, so the number of Steve's books become

$b \to \dfrac{b}{2}$

Then, he buys 6 more, so the number increases by 6:

$\dfrac{b}{2} \to \dfrac{b}{2}+6$

This number is now 14, so you have

$\dfrac{b}{2}+6 = 14$

Subtract 6 from both sides:

$\dfrac{b}{2} = 8$

Multiply both sides by 2:

$b = 16$
