I think this is what you are looking for:

a

b

=

a

+

b

(+)2=42

(

b

)

2

=

2+2+2=16

a

a

b

=

16

∴2+2=16+2×12=40

∴

a

2

+

b

=

12

=

40

Now, (−)2=2+2−2=40+2×12=64

(

a

−

b

)

2

=

a

2

+

b

a

b

×

12

=

64

∴(−)=64‾‾‾√=±8

∴

(

a

−

b

)

=

64

=

±

8

So, 2−2=(+)(−)

a

2

−

b

=

(

(

2−2=(4)(±8)=±32

a

=

(

±

=

±

32

Hope that helps and sorry if it is confusing!
