To simplify the expression \((a - 3b)(a + 2b) + 5a(a + 2b)\), we can start by factoring out the common term \((a + 2b)\):
- Identify the common factor, which is \((a + 2b)\).
- Rewrite the expression:
\[ = (a - 3b + 5a)(a + 2b) \]
- Combine like terms inside the parentheses:
\[ = (6a - 3b)(a + 2b) \]
Now, we can choose to expand the expression further if needed:
\[ (6a - 3b)(a + 2b) = 6a \cdot a + 6a \cdot 2b - 3b \cdot a - 3b \cdot 2b \]
This simplifies to:
\[ = 6a^2 + 12ab - 3ab - 6b^2 \]
Combining the \(ab\) terms:
\[ = 6a^2 + 9ab - 6b^2 \]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[ 6a^2 + 9ab - 6b^2 \]
