Our Identity 1 is (i) one number is decreased by 2 and the other increased by 3; So, we need to solve (๐โ๐)(๐+๐) Now, (๐โ๐)(๐+๐)=๐ (๐+3)โ2(๐+3) =๐๐+๐ ร 3+(โ2)ร ๐+(โ2) ร 3 (ii) both numbers are decreased, one by 3 and the other by 4. So, we need to solve (๐โ๐)(๐+๐) So, we need to solve (๐โ๐)(๐+๐) Now, (๐โ๐)(๐โ๐)=๐ (๐โ4)โ3(๐โ4) =๐๐+๐ ร (โ4)+(โ3)ร ๐+(โ3) ร (โ4) =๐๐โ๐๐โ๐๐+๐๐
