Answer

$9b^2-48b+64$

Work Step by Step

Using the square of a binomial, $(a+b)^2=a^2+2(a)(b)+b^2$, the given expression is equivalent to \begin{align*} & [5-(3b-3)]^2 \\\\&= 5^2+2(5)(-(3b-3))+(-(3b-3))^2 \\\\& 25-10(3b-3)+(3b-3)^2 \\\\& 25-30b+30+(3b-3)^2 \\\\& -30b+55+(3b-3)^2 \\\\& -30b+55+(3b)^2+2(3b)(-3)+(-3)^2 \\\\& -30b+55+9b^2-18b+9 \\\\& 9b^2+(-30b-18b)+(55+9) \\\\& 9b^2-48b+64 .\end{align*}
