The result of the evaluation as demanded in the task content is; -40 - 80√3.

What is the value of a²-b²?

The expression; a² - b² can be evaluated by means of difference of two squares as follows;

a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b)

Therefore, we have;

= ((√3 +5√3 -5) + (√3 -5√3 -5)) ((√3 +5√3 -5) - (√3 -5√3 -5))

= (2√3 -10)(10√3 +10)

= 60 - 80√3 -100

= -40 - 80√3.
