Answer:

20 m/s westward

Explanation:

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B = +5 m/s is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_C = -15 m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B = +5 m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_C' = v_C - v_B = -15 m/s - (+5 m/s) = -20 m/s

and the direction will be westward (negative sign).
