1. **State the problem:**
A person pays 6000 per year towards a debt for 4 years, then pays 15000 per year. We want to find the year when the debt is completely paid off.
2. **Define variables and equation:**
Let the total debt be $D$.
After 4 years paying 6000 per year, the amount paid is $4 \times 6000 = 24000$.
3. **Remaining debt after 4 years:**
$$\text{Remaining debt} = D - 24000$$
4. **Payment after 4 years:**
He pays 15000 per year. Let $x$ be the number of years after the first 4 years to pay off the remaining debt.
5. **Equation for total payment:**
$$24000 + 15000x = D$$
6. **Solve for $x$:**
$$15000x = D - 24000$$
$$x = \frac{D - 24000}{15000}$$
7. **Total years to pay off debt:**
$$\text{Total years} = 4 + x = 4 + \frac{D - 24000}{15000}$$
Since the total debt $D$ is not given, the answer is expressed in terms of $D$.
**Final answer:**
The debt is completely paid off in year $$4 + \frac{D - 24000}{15000}$$.
