$\Rightarrow (m - 5) (m + 3)$ $=>(m-5)(m+3)$

$m + 3$ $m+3$ is common between both terms in the expression. So we can factor it out.

$m (m + 3) - 5 (m + 3)$ $m(m+3) - 5(m+3)$

$\Rightarrow (m - 5) (m + 3)$ $=>(m-5)(m+3)$

How do you factor the expression m(m+3) - 5 (m+3)m(m+3)−5(m+3)m(m+3) - 5 (m+3)?
