Answer:


(a+3)(3b-5x)

Explanation:

We are given that an expression


3ab-5ax+9b-15x

We have to find the factors of given expression

Rearrange the terms of given expression then we get


3ab+9b-5ax-15x

Now, we taking common 3b from first two terms and -5 x from last two terms


3b(a+3)-5x(a+3)

Now. taking common a+3 then we get


(a+3)(3b-5x)
