Your answer will be
x^(2) -2xy- 15y^(2)


To get this you have to multiply individually across the parenthesis. Like so:

x(x+3y)


x^(2) +3xy


-5y(x+3y)


-5xy-15y^(2)


Now we add these two expressions together:
x^(2) +3xy +
-5xy-15y^(2)

Next, we combine like terms:
x^(2) -2xy- 15y^(2)

Since nothing else can be simplified, this is our answer. Hope this helped!!!
