prove algebraically that the difference between the squares of any two consecutive integers is equal to the sum of these two integers.

1. 

What the statement says:

 \(({n+1}^{2})-{n}^{2} = 2n+1\)

 
Demonstration:

\(({n+1}^{2})-{n}^{2} = ({n}^{2}+2n+1)-{n}^{2}- ={n}^{2}+2n+1 -{n}^{2}- =2n+1\)

 

Example:

\({6}^{2}-{5}^{2}= 36-25=11\)
 

The sum of these two integers
\(6+5= 11\)
I hope it was helpful

sorry, i wrote it wrong
Change \( {x+1}^{2} \) For:

 

\({(x+1)}^{2}\)
