Answer:

-15

Explanation:

The statement tells us that winning points means that there are positive points and losing points means that there are negative points.

The positive points are represented with "+"

Negative points are represented with "-"

In this case, you ask to lose 15 points, therefore it would be represented like this:

-15 points
