\[ \frac{59}{2} - 15 = \frac{29}{2} = 14.5 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{59}{2}\) and \(\frac{-15}{1}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{59}{2} - 15 &= \frac{59 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} + \frac{-15 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{59 + -30}{2} \\ &= \frac{29}{2} \end{aligned} \]
