By sign convention ,
Object distance (u) = -15 cm
Focal length (f) = 12 cm
We know that , the formula of mirror is given by
[tex] \large \mathtt{ \fbox{ \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f} }}[/tex]
Thus ,
[tex] \mapsto \sf \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{12} \\ \\ \mapsto \sf \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{15} \\ \\ \mapsto \sf \frac{1}{v} = \frac{15 + 12}{180} \\ \\ \mapsto \sf v = \frac{180}{27} \\ \\ \mapsto \sf v = 6.67 \: \: cm[/tex]
Hence , the image distance is 6.67 cm to the right of the mirror
