Solution

Step 1 :To factor the trinomial, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 75 (5*15) and add to 28. Those numbers are 5 and 15.

Step 2 :So, we can rewrite the middle term of the trinomial as \(5x + 15x\).

Step 3 :Then, we can factor by grouping: \(5x^2 + 5x + 15x + 15\)

Step 4 := \(5x(x + 1) + 15(x + 1)\)

Step 5 :\(\boxed{(5x + 15)(x + 1)}\) is the factored form of the trinomial \(5x^2 + 28x + 15\).
