Remember both 16 & 25 are squared numbers.
16 = 4^2 & 25 = 5^2
Hence we can write
(4x)^2 - (5y)^2
Remember two squared terms with a NEGATIVE Between them will factor.
( 4x - 5y)(4x + 5y)
Note the difference signs.
NNB Two squared terms with a positive (+) between them DOES NOT factor.

How do you factor 16x2-225?
You need to spot that 16x2 is the square of 4x and that 225 is the square of 15. Notice that the expression is a "difference of 2 squares", which is a standard result in algebra a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b) so here we factorise to (4x + 15)(4x - 15)
