You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Factor: 15%2B3y-15x%5E2-x%5E2y
The best we can do on this is factor by grouping:
%2815%2B3y%29+-+%2815x%5E2%2Bx%5E2y%29 Factor 3 from the fist group and x^2 from the second group.
3%285%2By%29+-+x%5E2%2815%2By%29 and this could be arranged as:
-%28x%5E2%28y%2B15%29+-+3%28y%2B5%29%29
