Answer:

15y^2

Explanation:

Look for the biggest number that goes into each of the three terms in the expression. Then look for each variable and its highest power that is in each of the three terms. Put it all together and that is the "greatest" (biggest) "monomial" (number and variables with no plus or minus) "factor" it goes into the each term of the given expression. See image.
