Suppose the length of each side of the cube is x, so the volume must be:

x^3.

If the volume is 15 cm^3, so the length must be cuberoot(15) which is not integer,. So, the volume of the cube with integer side never equal with 15 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_1=-8\\a_2=-2\\a_3=4\\\\d=a_2-a_1=a_3-a_2=...=a_n-a_{n-1}\qquad\qquad \{n\ge2\}\\\\\left{\big{a_2-a_1=-2-(-8)=-2+8=6}\atop\big{a_3-a_2=4-(-2)=4+2=6\quad\ \,}\right\}\implies\ \ d=6$
