Answer :
Answer: The required factored form is [tex](x+3)(3y-5).[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to factor the following polynomial :
[tex]P=x(3y-5)+3(3y-5)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]
We will be using the following factorization formula :
[tex]a(b+c)+d(b+c)=(a+d)(b+c).[/tex]
So, from expression (i), we get
[tex]P\\\=x(3y-5)+3(3y-5)\\\\=(x+3)(3y-5).[/tex]
Thus, the required factored form is [tex](x+3)(3y-5).[/tex]
