Are u sure there is a y in it

anonymous · Answer

yes i am positive, the equation reads exactly how i wrote it.

Thats weird because everything i found said it is an error becuase of the y or is the minus supposed to be an equal sign

wil476003 · Answer

I have noclue otherwise im sorry

anonymous · Answer

i just double checked and the equation is right but i still dont know how to factor it.

the only thing i can think would be (x-5)(x-5)+(-y+0)(y+0) but i dont know if i can do that
