    It's pretty straightforward and simple:

    Six more means + 6.

    Twice a number means 2n.

    Is 16 means = 16

    Now combine these three definitions and you will receive:

    6 + 2n = 16

    Now solve this simple equation:

    6 + 2n = 16

    2n = 16 - 6

    2n = 10

    n = 10 / 2 = 5

    So the correct answer is D.
