What is the difference between the areas of squares with sides x − 1 and x + 1?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x

The correct answer is 4x. The square with side x + 1 has the larger area, so subtract the smaller area from it: (x + 1)² − (x − 1)². Expand both squares: (x + 1)² = x² + 2x + 1 and (x − 1)² = x² − 2x + 1. Their difference is x² + 2x + 1 − x² + 2x − 1 = 4x. The same result follows quickly from a² − b² = (a − b)(a + b): here the difference is [(x + 1) − (x − 1)][(x + 1) + (x − 1)] = 2 × 2x = 4x. Option A misses one of the two cross-effects. Option C is only the product of the differences, not the area difference. Option D is (x − 1)(x + 1), not the difference of their squares. Always subtract the smaller area from the larger one.
