Answer 3

one by one really
15 ÷ (-3) + 5|-2| ÷ (-5)
|-2| is equal to 2
1st preform the addition and subtraction and instead of |-2| we have 2
So therefor
15 ÷ (-3) + 5 * 2÷ (-5)
Simplify and that's all it would equal -7

Answer 4

hope that helps

Answer 5

15 ÷ (-3) + 5 * 2÷ (-5)
15 ÷ (-3) = -5

-5 + 5 * 2 ÷ (-5)
-5 + 10 ÷ (-5)

5 ÷ (-5)

I'm pretty sure I'm getting it mixed up in my head on how to solve this, I get how you switched the |-2| but I for some reason my brain isn't wanting to work with me and solve this the right way.
