Answer:

(5x + 7y)(25x² - 35xy + 49y²)

Explanation:

125x³ + 343y³ ← is a sum of cubes and factors in general as

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b² )

125x³ = (5x)³ ⇒ a = 5x

343y³ = (7y)³ ⇒ b = 7y

125x³ + 343y³

= (5x + 7y)((5x)² - (5x × 7y) + (7y)²)

= (5x + 7y)(25x² - 35xy + 49y²) ← in factored form
