Actually, the answer is 15, not -15. Because a negative plus a negative get a positive, though this only apply's in math, not the actual world, sadly.

@Turbo713..sorry mistake..
Hey DixieLoo..no you wont get 15.you'd get -15
Negative plus negative is negative only
Negative multiplied by negative is positive.
