Because there are no Parenthesis or Exponents we will first process the Multiplication and Division from left to right:

$- 15 \cdot 4 + 12 \div (- 3) \to$ $-15 * 4 + 12 -: (-3) ->$

$- 60 + 12 \div (- 3) \to$ $-60 + 12 -: (-3) ->$

$- 60 + (- 4)$ $-60 + (-4)$

We can now process the Addition and Subtract:

$- 60 + (- 4) \to$ $-60 + (-4) ->$

$- 64$ $-64$
