To find an expression that has the same sum as -15 + 6, we first need to compute the sum:
-15 + 6 = -9.
Now let's evaluate each of the given options:
1. **-6 + (-15)**:
- This equals -6 - 15 = -21.
2. **6 + (-15)**:
- This equals 6 - 15 = -9.
3. **15 + (-6)**:
- This equals 15 - 6 = 9.
4. **15 + 6**:
- This equals 15 + 6 = 21.
The option that equals -9, the same sum as -15 + 6, is:
**6 + (-15)**.
So, you would select the option **6 + (-15)**.
-15 + 6 = -9.
Now let's evaluate each of the given options:

- This equals -6 - 15 = -21.
2. **6 + (-15)**:
- This equals 6 - 15 = -9.
3. **15 + (-6)**:
- This equals 15 - 6 = 9.
4. **15 + 6**:
- This equals 15 + 6 = 21.
The option that equals -9, the same sum as -15 + 6, is:
**6 + (-15)**.
So, you would select the option **6 + (-15)**.
