Answer:

(2y+5) * (y+3)

Explanation:

2y^2+11y+15

Split the second term into 2 terms that have the sum is 11 and multiply is 15 (This is a trick to do these kind of questions: Sum of 2 number is = second term (The term with unknown number) and multiply of 2 numbers is = third term (The term without unknown number)

we got:

= 2y^2 + 6y + 5y + 15

= 2y ( y + 3) * 5 (y+3)

= (2y+5) * (y+3)

Hope this helped :3
