Answer: (3b + 5)(3b - 5)
Because both terms, 9b² and 25, are perfect squares, you can factor by taking the square roots of both terms.
The square root of 9b² is 3b (3b × 3b = 9b²).
The square root of 25 is 5 (5 × 5 = 25).
9b² - 25 has a negative, so the factored expression would be
(3b + 5)(3b - 5). The signs (+ and -) alternate in this case because the expression, 9b² - 25, has no middle term.
You can check your work by using FOIL. See the attachment below.

Answer:
C. Infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x - 7 + 10x = -7 + 6x
Combine like terms on the left side. Rearrange the right side.
6x - 7 = 6x - 7
Add 7 to both sides.
6x = 6x
Subtract 6x from both sides.
0 = 0
0 = 0 is a true statement.
Both sides are equal, so all real values of x make the equation true.
