First pull out the common factor x^4
25x^6 - x^4
(25x^2 -1) x^4
Now, factor the first part:
(5x - 1) (5x + 1) x^4

Simplifying
25x^6 + -1x^4
Reorder the terms:
-1x^4 + 25x^6
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'x^4'.
x^4(-1 + 25x^2)
Factor a difference between two squares.
x^4((1 + 5x)(-1 + 5x))
Final result:
x^4(1 + 5x)(-1 + 5x)

for 25x do you mean 25 times x or is it an algebra letter thing?

x^4(25x^2-1)
x^4(5x-1)(5x+1) << that's your final answer
