ANSWER

5(3y + 5)

Step-by-step explanation

Both terms of this expression have constants: 15 and 25. Let's write the multiples of each,


\begin{gathered} 15\colon3*5 \\ 25\colon5*5 \end{gathered}

The greatest common factor between these two is 5. To take it out as a common factor, we have to divide the two constants from the expression by 5,


15y+25=5(3y+5)
