Answer

The required value is $\left( x+5+3y \right)\left( x+5-3y \right)$.

Work Step by Step

Consider the expression, ${{x}^{2}}+10x+25-9{{y}^{2}}$ Now, evaluate the given expression: ${{x}^{2}}+10x+25-9{{y}^{2}}={{\left( x \right)}^{2}}+2\left( 5 \right)\left( x \right)+{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}-9{{y}^{2}}$ Use the formula as follows: ${{A}^{2}}+2AB+{{B}^{2}}={{\left( A+B \right)}^{2}}$ Then, the expression becomes: $\begin{align} & {{x}^{2}}+10x+25-9{{y}^{2}}={{\left( x+5 \right)}^{2}}-9{{y}^{2}} \\ & ={{\left( x+5 \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( 3y \right)}^{2}} \end{align}$ Again, use the following formula: ${{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}=\left( A+B \right)\left( A-B \right)$ Then, the expression is: ${{x}^{2}}+10x+25-9{{y}^{2}}=\left( x+5+3y \right)\left( x+5-3y \right)$ Therefore, the value of ${{x}^{2}}+10x+25-9{{y}^{2}}$ is $\left( x+5+3y \right)\left( x+5-3y \right)$.
