Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation: To find the sum of these two numbers, remember that adding a negative is exactly the same thing as subtracting a positive. In other words, when we see 18 + (-15), we can change the problem so it's easier to understand and we will change in to 18 - 15.

Now, this is just basic subtraction.

18 - 15 = 3

Therefore, 18 + (-15) = 3

Answer:

x = -1, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

${(x + 3)}^{2} = 4 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 2 \times x \times 3 + {3}^{2} = 4 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 6x + 9 = 4 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 6x = 4 - 9 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 6x = - 5 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 6x + 5 = 0 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 5x + x + 5 = 0 \\ = > x(x + 5) + 1(x + 5) = 0 \\ = > (x + 1)(x + 5) \\ = > x = - 1 \: \: or \: \: - 5$
