To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, both fractions already have a common denominator of 15.

So, we can subtract the numerators directly:

2/15 - (-5/15) = 2/15 + 5/15

Adding the numerators:

= (2 + 5)/15

Simplifying the numerator:

= 7/15

Therefore, 2/15 minus -5/15 is equal to 7/15.
