Iven Expression = a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b) = (a + b) = (2.39 + 1.61) = 4.
a - b (a - b)

Explain clearly

Given Expression = a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b).

(a^2 - b^2)/(a - b) = (a + b) = (2.39 + 1.61) = 4.

Can you explain this clearly? Please.

2.39*2.39 = 5.7121.
1.61*1.61 = 2.6565.
2.39-1.61 = 0.78.

Its nothing 5.7121-2.6565/0.78 = 4.

Can you explain how (a+b)(a-b)/(a-b)=a+b?

Suni said:   10 years ago
(a+b)(a-b)/(a-b), its simple division where a-b gets cancelled an that = a+b.

Franky said:   9 years ago
This is easy, just (a + b)(a - b)/(a - b).
Then just by cancelling the both minus and remaining a+b is the answer.

Formula : (a^2) - (b^2) = (a + b)(a - b)/a - b.

Enter the amount: (2.39 + 1.61)(2.39 - 1.61)/2.39 - 1.69).
Cancel both 2.39 - 1.61)/(2.39 - 1.69).
Then remaining in the numerator is 2.39 + 1.61 = 4.

So, the answer is 4.
