You mean: What is k if -3 is one of the solutions or is the only solution. Poorly formatted but I'll answer it anyway.

We have

[tex]x^2-kx-15=0[/tex].

Then substitute x with -3 and solve for k

[tex]

(-3)^2-k(-3)-15=0 \\

9+3k-15=0 \\

3k=6\Longrightarrow k=\dfrac{6}{3}=\boxed{2}

[/tex]

Hope this helps.
