There can be two answer choices. As it doesn't specify which way the guest travels the 15 floors, it can go up, or go down.

If the elevator goes up:

Add the two numbers together

-6 + 15 = 15 - 6 = 9

9 is your answer

If the elevator goes down:

Subtract the two numbers

-6 - 15 = -21

-21 is your answer

hope this helps
