Answer:

4(5x - 3y)(5x + 3y)

Explanation:

Assuming you require the expression factored.

Given

100x² - 36y² ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(25x² - 9y²) ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , thus

25x² - 9y²

= (5x)² - (3y)² ← with a = 5x and b = 3y

= (5x - 3y)(5x + 3y)

Thus

100x² - 36y² = 4(5x - 3y)(5x + 3y) ← in factored form
