Hello! I am studying for an upcoming math test and I'm trying to figure out how to solve this equation:
Select the expression that is equivalent to (m^2 - 25).
A. (m^2 - 10m + 25)
B. (m^2 + 10m + 25)
C. (m - 5) (m + 5)
D. (m - 5)^2
I do NOT want the answer to this. I just want to know how to solve it, because in the test there will be something similar to it. So if there's any tricks or tips that you have to solve this, please do share!
