Assuming you mean A is on their own 15 and events happened in order mentioned:
1. A would need to get to their own 20 for a first down.
2. 5 yd face mask foul by B is enforced from the basic spot which in this case is the end of the run (9 yard line), and the down is repeated. So now we have 3rd and 6 from A's 14.
3. enforce 15 yds for dead ball unsportmanlike foul against B placing the ball at A's 29. A now has reached the line to gain so a first down is awarded.
4. Enforce half the distance to the goal against A for their unneccessary roughness, taking them back to their own 14 1/2 where it will be 1st and 10.
A few things to consider when a play like this happens: first, stay calm. Then, enforce live ball fouls first then dead ball fouls in order they occured keeping in mind that dead ball fouls are always succeeding spot enforcements. And, it is possible for team A to receive a first down if an interim succeeding spot gets them to the line to gain. The order of the dead ball fouls is important. Most often if B's dead ball foul is first it likely, but not automatically, would result in the line to gain being reached as in your example.
Unless I am missing something here that is my interpretation...
