(x+5y)(x-5y)
(x^3+7x^2+7x-15)/(x+3)
Thanks so much for your help!

Answer by ptaylor(2198)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simplify:
(1) (x+4)^2
(x+4)^2=(x+4)(x+4)
x+4
x+4
---------
x^2+4x
+4x+16
-------------
x^2+8x+16



(2) (x+5y)(x-5y)
x+5y
x-5y
----------
x^2+5xy
-5xy-25y^2
------------
x^2-25y^2





(3) (x^3+7x^2+7x-15)/(x+3)

x^2+4x-3
-----------------
x+3/x^3+7x^2+7x-15
x^3+3x^2
------------
4x^2+7x-15
4x^2+12x-15
-----------
-5x-15
-5x-15
-------
R=0

Hope this helps-----ptaylor
