Answer:

The factored version of the given equation is going to be (3x² + 4y)(x + 5)

Explanation:

3x³ + 15x² + 4xy + 20y

First, you break down 3x³. You can do this by finding the common factor of 3x³ and 15x². You can add the x to the other parentheses because x times x² equals x³

(3x² + )(x + 5)

Now, we break down 4xy by finding the common factor of 4xy and 20y.

(3x² + 4y)(x + 5)

So, the factored version of the equation above is (3x² + 4y)(x + 5)
