Answer

$(y+3)(3y+5)$

Work Step by Step

The 2 numbers whose product is $ac= 3(15)=45 $ and whose sum is $b= 14 $ are $\left\{ 9,5 \right\}$. Using these numbers to decompose the middle term results to \begin{array}{l} 3y^2+9y+5y+15 \\\\= (3y^2+9y)+(5y+15) \\\\= 3y(y+3)+5(y+3) \\\\= (y+3)(3y+5) .\end{array}
