Answer:

(15+4)

Explanation:

The rule of PEMDAS state the order of which we should solve equations for it to be correct. It stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction.

The expression (15+4)3 has a parenthesis at the beginning, so we can solve this operation first.
