Please solve the following with explanation:
1. (a + b) (a - b) + (2a + b) (2a - 3b).
2. (x - y)(2x + y) - (x + y)(2x - y).
3. (x + 6){5x - 3(x - 2)}
4. 7x - 3{x - 2x(x - 4)}
1. (a + b) (a - b) + (2a + b) (2a - 3b).
2. (x - y)(2x + y) - (x + y)(2x - y).
3. (x + 6){5x - 3(x - 2)}
4. 7x - 3{x - 2x(x - 4)}

Can somebody please solve this question.
a - b = 1, 2a + 20 = b. Then a, b is?
a - b = 1, 2a + 20 = b. Then a, b is?

a-b = 3, a2+b2=29, ab =?
(a-b)2 = a2+b2-2ab
2ab = (a2+b2)-(a-b)2
ab = 29-9/2
= 20/2 = 10 Ans.
(a-b)2 = a2+b2-2ab
2ab = (a2+b2)-(a-b)2
ab = 29-9/2
= 20/2 = 10 Ans.

I would be grateful if anyone answers this question.
If a-b=4 and ab=60 then find the value of a+b.
I found that the answer is + or - 16 what is + or -? Please tell me.

Yes @Bonjor.
(a+b)2 = (a-b)2+4ab,
(a+b)2 = 256,
a+b = +-16.
+-16 is the answer.
(a+b)2 = (a-b)2+4ab,
(a+b)2 = 256,
a+b = +-16.
+-16 is the answer.

(a-b)^2 = a^2+b^2-2ab.
2ab = a^2+b^2-(a-b)^2,
= 29-3^2,
= 29-9,
2ab = 20.
ab =10.
2ab = a^2+b^2-(a-b)^2,
= 29-3^2,
= 29-9,
2ab = 20.
ab =10.
