To factor the polynomial \( x(3x + 5) - 4(3x + 5) \), we can first notice that \( (3x + 5) \) is a common factor in both terms. We can factor it out as follows:
1. Identify the common factor \( (3x + 5) \).
2. Rewrite the expression:
\[
x(3x + 5) - 4(3x + 5) = (3x + 5)(x - 4)
\]
Thus, the factored form of the polynomial is:
\[
(3x + 5)(x - 4)
\]
