The given expression can be factored using the difference of squares formula, which states that for any two numbers a and b, the expression (a^2 - b^2) can be factored as (a+b)(a-b).
In this case, we have the expression (x+y)^2 - 25.
Using the difference of squares formula, we can rewrite this as ((x+y) + 5)((x+y) - 5).
So, the expression (x+y)^2 - 25 factors completely as ((x+y) + 5)((x+y) - 5).
In this case, we have the expression (x+y)^2 - 25.
Using the difference of squares formula, we can rewrite this as ((x+y) + 5)((x+y) - 5).
So, the expression (x+y)^2 - 25 factors completely as ((x+y) + 5)((x+y) - 5).
