( x − 5 ) ( x + 5 ) = x ⋅ x + 5 ⋅ x − 5 ⋅ x − 5 ⋅ 5 = x 2 + 5 x − 5 x − 25 = = x 2 − 25

The expression ( x − 5 ) ( x + 5 ) simplifies to x 2 − 25 using the FOIL method. This process involves multiplying the corresponding terms in each binomial. The final result illustrates the difference of squares formula.
