If x and y are positive consecutive odd integers, where y > x, which of the following is equal to If x and y are positive consecutive odd integers, where y > x, which of the following is equal to y^2-x^2?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = (x+2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (x+2) for y and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)^2 - x^2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 4x + 4 - x^2; FOILed (x+2)(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 4
