What is the difference between the areas of squares with sides (x+1) and (x-1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x

The direct answer is B, 4x. The area of a square is side multiplied by itself, so the two areas are (x+1)^2 and (x-1)^2. Subtract them: (x+1)^2-(x-1)^2=(x^2+2x+1)-(x^2-2x+1)=4x. The same result comes quickly from a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b): here a-b=2 and a+b=2x, so the product is 4x. A is only half the result and misses one of the two cross contributions. C is (x+1)(x-1), not the difference of the two areas. D would be the answer only if x=1, not generally. A useful warning is that side differences and area differences are not the same; square each side before subtracting.
