We will use two formulas. ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 a 2 − b 2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b )
By applying these, x 2 + 1 0 x + 2 5 x 2 − 2 5 = x 2 + 2 ⋅ 1 0 x + 5 2 x 2 − 5 2 = ( x + 5 ) 2 ( x + 5 ) ( x − 5 ) = x + 5 x − 5
x 2 + 1 0 x + 2 5 x 2 − 2 5 = ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) x 2 − 5 2 = ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) ( x − 5 ) = x + 5 x − 5
x 2 + 1 0 x + 2 5 x 2 − 2 5 = ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) ( x − 5 ) = ( x + 5 ) ( x − 5 ) .

Factor the numerator, x 2 + 1 0 x + 2 5 ( x − 5 ) ( x + 5 ) . Now factor the denominator, ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) ( x − 5 ) ( x + 5 ) and finally cancel out like terms, ( x + 5 ) ( x − 5 ) × ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) = ( x + 5 ) ( x − 5 ) × ( 1 ) = ( x + 5 ) ( x − 5 ) .
