a^2 - b^2 = 44
a = B + 2 (because it's even)
Substitute the a value
(b+2)^2 - b^2 = 44
(b+2)(b+2) - b^2 = 44
(b^2 + 2b + 2b + 4) - b^2 ==
add the bs
b^2 + 4b +4 - b^2 = 44
subtract
4b + 4 = 44
Subtract 4 from each side
4b = 40
Divide by 4
b = 10
.
If B is 10, then A is 10+2=12
.
Let's check it
12^2 - 10^2 = 44
(12*12) - (10*10) = 44
144 - 100 does indeed equal 44
Success!
