Answer:

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the mirror equation:

1/di + 1/do = 1/f

where di = -10 cm and f = +15 cm. (Note that di is negative if the image is virtual.)

Substitute and solve for do.

1/do + 1/(-10 cm) = 1/(15 cm)

1/do = 1/(15 cm) - 1/(-10 cm) = 5/(30 cm)

do = 6 cm
