Oh, I like what you did. Your way is much easier to use.
I did it by showing that 2 5 ± 1 0 6 = 1 5 ± 1 0 .

Thanks. I like your approach too; I guess everyone has their preferred method. :)
wait,where did the 600 come from?
can we use a^2-b^2 identity
Let a = 2 5 + 1 0 6 , b = 2 5 − 1 0 6
a 2 + b 2 = ( 2 5 + 1 0 6 ) + ( 2 5 − 1 0 6 ) = 5 0 and a b = ( 2 5 + 1 0 6 ) ( 2 5 − 1 0 6 ) = 2 5 2 − ( 1 0 6 ) 2 = = 6 2 5 − 6 0 0 = 2 5 = 5
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 a b = 5 0 + 2 ⋅ 5 \ = 6 0 a + b = 6 0 = 2 1 5
Let a = 2 5 , b = 1 0 6 , x be the answer,
Hence,
a + b + a − b = x
Square both sides
a + b + a − b + 2 a 2 − b 2 = x 2
2 ( a + a 2 − b 2 = x 2
Substitute the values of a and b to get
2 ( 2 5 + ( 2 5 ) 2 − ( 1 0 6 ) 2 = x 2
x 2 = 6 0
x = 6 0
Therefore,
2 5 + 1 0 6 + 2 5 − 1 0 6 = 6 0 = 2 1 5
Nice :) I like this way.

Square the expression to get
( 2 5 + 1 0 6 ) + ( 2 5 − 1 0 6 ) + 2 ( 2 5 + 1 0 6 ) ( 2 5 − 1 0 6 ) =
5 0 + 2 6 2 5 − 6 0 0 = 6 0 .
So the given expression has a value of 6 0 = 2 1 5 .
