Answer:

(10x-y)^2

Explanation:

  1. The equation for a square of the difference problem like this is a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2
  2. So now we have to find out a and b
  3. b will be y, so now we need a
  4. 100x=a^2, so that means a=10x
  5. So now we plug in a and b into the solution which is (a-b)^2 so the answer will be (10x-y)^2
