Solution

Explanation:

We have to find the value of the blank . Let =x

It means we find the value of x.

We know that

(a-b)2=(a-b)(a-b)=a2-ab-ba+b2(aftermultiplyingthebrackets)=a2-ab-ab+b2(ab=ba)=a2-2ab+b2

So (a-b)2+x=a2-b2x=a2-b2-(a-b)2x=a2-b2-(a2-2ab+b2)x=a2-b2-a2+2ab-b2(duetominussignthesignofthetermswithinthebracketchanges)x=2ab-2b2(herea2iscancelledby)

Hence, 2ab-b2 is the required answer.
