Answer:

(8x - 5y)(8x + 5y)

Explanation:

To factor the expression, use the difference of squares pattern. A difference of squares is subtraction between two perfect squares and factors as a² - b² = (a-b)(a+b).

The expression has the perfect squares 64x² and 25y². Take the square root of each. The factors become (8x - 5y)(8x + 5y).
