Answer:

25x^2 - 60xy + 36y^2

Explanation:

(5x - 6y) ( 5x - 6y)

Use foil to get the result when this is expanded.

F: (first term in each factor): 5x*5x = 25x^2

I: Use the last term first factor multiplied by first term second factor

- 6y * 5x = - 30xy

O:Outside. Use first term first factor and last term second factor

5x * -6y = - 30xy

L: last term in both factors -6y * - 6y = 36y^2

All them together

25x^2 - 30xy - 30xy + 36y^2

and combine

25x^2 - 60xy + 36y^2
