    6 plus twice the sum of a number and 7.

    The phrase a number mean an arbitrary variable, let's call it x.

    The sum of a number and 7 means we add 7 to the variable x.
    x + 7

    Twice the sum means we multiply the sum by 2:
    2(x + 7)

    6 plus means we add 6 to 2(x + 7)
    6 + 2(x + 7)
