Answer:

-5

Explanation:

Okay so 3 is less than 15 so you have to multiply 15 by a negative number so it goes down instead of up, and the reason we multiply is because the b is right next to 15 so that means you multiply.

then you need to find out what multiplied by 3 equalls 15, the answer is 5.

so then you just add the negative sign and vah la you have your answer :D
