C)15 cuz
(-) and (-) = (+)
(-) and (+)= (-)
(+) and (+)= (+)
(+) and (-)= (-)
So 12-(-3)= u can see the - and - so it’s gonna be a plus, so it converts into 12+3.. so you get 15

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: Take 12 and change the -3 to a regular 3.

(12 + 3 = 15.)

Whichever number in the question that’s bigger determines what integer it will have.
