Answer: 3(x+5) ✅

Explanation:

Hii, do you need to factor the expression 3x+15? No problem! (:

Note that 3x and 15 have a "3" in common.

To factor it out, we can divide 3x and 15 by 3 first.

x+5

Put parentheses around x+5

(x+5)

Now put the 3 that we just factored out outside these parentheses

3(x+5)

Hope that this helped! Best wishes.
