$7 x + (x + 6)$ $7x+(x+6)$

Explanation:

Let us assume that the number is $x$ $x$
Now the statement:
" $Seven times a number,$ $color (green)"Seven times a number",$ $added to$ $color (red)"added to"$ the $sum of the number$ $color (blue)"sum of the number"$ $and six$ $color(blue)" and six"$ "

Seven times a number $\to$ $->$ $7$ $7$ multiplied by the number $x \to 7 x$ $x->7x$
added to $\to +$ $-> +$ the number in the part following of statement
sum of the number and six $\to x + 6$ $->x+6$

All three steps written together

$7 \times x$ $7xxx$ $+$ $+$ $(x + 6)$ $(x+6)$ , gives us the required algebraic expression

$7 x + (x + 6)$ $7x+(x+6)$
