Replace $y$ $y$ with $5$ $5$ in the expression and perform the arithmetic to get
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $43$ $43$

Explanation:

$68 - y^{2}$ $68-y^2$ with $y = 5$ $y=5$
becomes
$68 - 5^{2}$ $68 -5^2$
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $= 68 - 25$ $=68 - 25$
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $= 43$ $= 43$
