When adding a positive number to a negative number, you subtract the absolute value of the smaller number from the absolute value of the larger number, then assign the sign of the larger number. In this case, the absolute value of 18 is 18 and the absolute value of -15 is 15. So, 18 minus 15 is 3. Since 18 is the larger number and it is positive, the answer is positive 3.
