Answer

$16x^{2}-49y^{2}$

Work Step by Step

$(4x+7y)(4x-7y)$ ...identify which terms correspond to $a $ and $b $ in the rule for the product of a sum and difference ($(a+b)(a-b)=a^{2}-b^{2}$). $a=4x,\ b=7y$ ...substitute for $a $and $b $ in the rule $(4x+7y)(4x-7y)=(4x)^{2}-(7y)^{2}$ ...simplify. =$16x^{2}-49y^{2}$
