If you're factoring, your answer is
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
You'll work it out this way:
16x^2 + 8x - 15
Since there's no GCF here, you multiply the first and third terms, giving you -240. Your next step is to find two numbers that have a sum of 8 and a product of -240. These numbers are 20 and -12. Plug those in and you've got:
16x^2 + 20x - 12x - 15
From here you divide it into two binomials. These are (16x^2 + 20x) and (-12x - 15).
When you take out the greatest common factors (4x and -3), they become:
4x(4x + 5) - 3(4x + 5)
Then you group what's outside of the parentheses together (4x - 3)
And bring what's inside of the parentheses down (4x + 5).
This brings your answer to
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)

I used a calculator so you’ll need someone else to explain my apologies. I’m tried but I wanted to try and help by giving you the answer
Answer:
• x = 9
• y = 6√2
Step-by-step explanation:
The right triangles are all similar, so the ratios of hypotenuse to short side are the same:
27/x = x/3
x^2 = 81 . . . . . multiply by 3x
x = 9 . . . . . . . . take the square root
Then y can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 = y^2 + 3^2
81 - 9 = y^2 = 72 . . . . . subtract 9
y = √72 = 6√2 . . . . . . .take the square root
The values of x and y are 9 and 6√2, respectively.
Less than 1 I think I'm not sure but I did the math
