Hi, I AM HAVEING ALITTLE TROUBLE WITH THIS PROBLEM IT IS,
25y^2-49,I am not sure because do have to find each ones common factor like this 5y-7
mutiply 5y-7
 
I'm not quite sure what you are asking abut this problem, but

25y^2 - 49

is the difference between two squares, which factors into:

(5y +7)(5y - 7)

In general:

(a^2 - b^2) = (a + b)(a - b)

Hope that helps...
