Answer:

The difference of two numbers using identity (x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2 is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  The sum of the numbers is 12 and the difference of the squares of the numbers is 48.

To find the difference of two numbers using identity (x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2

Let the two numbers be a and b, then

Given that the sum of the numbers is 12

that is a + b = 12 .........(1)

Also, given the difference of the squares of the numbers is 48.

that is a^2-b^2=48     ..........(2)

Using given identity  (x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2

We have (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

Substitute the known values, we have,

12(a-b)=48

Divide both side 12 , we have,

(a-b)=4

Thus, the difference of two numbers using identity (x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2 is 4.

Answer:

The difference of two numbers is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that

The sum of the numbers is 12

x+y = 12

The difference of the squares of the numbers is 48.

x²-y² = 48

We have to find the difference of two numbers.

x-y = ?

Given formula is:

(x+y)(x-y) = x²-y²

Putting values in above formula, we have

(12)(x-y) = 48

x-y = 48 / 12

The difference of two numbers =  x-y = 4 which is the answer.
