A student wants to use the property (
x
−
y
)
(
x
+
y
)
=
(
x
2
−
y
2
)
to find the product
(
26
)
(
34
)
.
Which statement is true?

The property is an illustration of difference of two squares

The true statement is

The property is given as:

The product is given as:

Let x - y = 26, and x + y = 34.

So, we have:

Make x the subject in

Substitute 26 + y for x in

Subtract 26 from both sides

Divide both sides by 2

Substitute 4 for y in

So, we have:

Hence, the true statement is
