Explanation:

Step1: Factor out the common term \((s - 3t)\)

We can see that \((s-3t)\) is a common factor in each term of the expression \(5a(s - 3t)+3b(s - 3t)+3(s - 3t)\). Using the distributive property \(ac+bc+dc=(a + b + c)c\) (where \(c=(s - 3t)\), \(a = 5a\), \(b=3b\), and \(d = 3\)), we get \((s-3t)(5a + 3b+3)\)

Answer:

\((s - 3t)(5a+3b + 3)\)
