2a^2 + 6ab - 5a - 15b
are questions still available
To factor the expression 2a(a+3b) - 5(a+3b), we can first notice that both terms have a common factor of (a+3b).
Let's factor out this common factor:
2a(a+3b) - 5(a+3b) = (a+3b)(2a-5)
Therefore, the factored form of the expression 2a(a+3b) - 5(a+3b) is (a+3b)(2a-5).
