To simplify the expression, we need to focus on the terms inside the parentheses.
The given expression is:
[tex]\[ 15 = (-6 + 7) \][/tex]
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Examine the terms inside the parentheses: [tex]\(-6\)[/tex] and [tex]\(7\)[/tex].
2. Perform the operation inside the parentheses: [tex]\(-6 + 7\)[/tex].
When we add [tex]\(-6\)[/tex] and [tex]\(7\)[/tex], we get:
[tex]\[ -6 + 7 = 1 \][/tex]
So now, the expression simplifies to:
[tex]\[ 15 = 1 \][/tex]
Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is:
[tex]\[ 1 \][/tex]
