That doesn't factor neatly. Applying the quadratic formula, we find two real solutions: (5 plus or minus the square root of 73) divided by 12.
y = 1.128666978776461

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.
2(x - 5y)
5(3x + 2 + y)
(y + 8)(y - 2)
