5m + 15

Please always include the instructions for each problem you post. Thanks.

The given expression is NOT an equation and thus does NOT have a "solution." Again, this goes to show why it is important to include the instructions with each problem.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Here is the way in which this problem should have been presented: Factor 5m + 15. What does "factor" mean? If you know this, go ahead and factor 5m + 15 now.

What is it asking you to do?

But if you want to factor it out then...what goes into 5m and 15? 5(m+3)
