Factor the difference of two squares:
A%5E2-B%5E2+=+%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29
It would help if you were to use parentheses when you write the problem!
-%2854y%29%5E4%2B%2824x%29%5E2 which can be written:
%2824x%29%5E2-%2854y%29%5E4 or...
%2824x%29%5E2-%28%2854y%29%5E2%29%5E2 the difference of two squares.
%2824x%2B%2854y%29%5E2%29%2824x-%2854y%29%5E2%29
