144x^2-100

looking at the original equation, you'll notice that it is a difference of squares therefore the factored form will look like something like this:


(ax-b)(ax+b) where a and b are the two numbers and the x represents the variable.

This would be the factored form:


(12x-10)(12x+10)

It can then be simplified to this:


2(6x-5)2(6x+5)

and this would be its fully factored form:


4(6x-5)(6x+5)
