5y(2y - 3) + (2y - 3) =

(5y + 1) (2y + 3)
(5y + 1) (2y - 3)
(5y - 1) (2y + 3)
(5y - 1) (2y - 3)

The correct answer is: (5y + 1) (2y - 3)

To solve this expression, we can first distribute the 5y to both terms inside the parentheses and then combine like terms. 5y(2y - 3) + (2y - 3) = 10y^2 - 15y + 2y - 3 = 10y^2 - 13y - 3 Therefore, the correct answer is (5y + 1) (2y - 3), which matches option B. This simplifies the given expression correctly into 10y^2 - 13y - 3.
