What is the difference between the areas of a square of side (x+1) and a square of side (x−1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x

The direct answer is B: 4x. The two areas are (x+1)² and (x−1)², so their difference is (x+1)²−(x−1)². Apply A²−B²=(A−B)(A+B), taking A=x+1 and B=x−1. Then A−B=(x+1)−(x−1)=2, while A+B=(x+1)+(x−1)=2x. Their product is 2×2x=4x. Option A gives only one factor of 2 and is therefore half the correct difference. Option C is (x+1)(x−1), the product of the two side expressions, not the difference of their areas. Option D ignores the variable-dependent part. For x=3, the areas are 16 and 4, whose difference is 12; 4x also gives 12. Memory cue: area difference means square first, then subtract—or use difference of squares.
