Answer

(s-15t)(s+5t)

Work Step by Step

You are given $s^{2}$-10st-75$t^{2}$. Factor it out: $s^{2}$-15st+5st-75$t^{2}$ -break out the middle value- ($s^{2}$-15st)+(5st-75$t^{2}$) -group the first two and last two terms- s(s-15t)+5t(s-15t) -Find the GCF of each grouping- (s+5t)(s-15t) -factor out the common term- =(s+5t)(s-15t)
