    This document provides a strategy for factoring the difference of two squares. It contains the following key points: 1. Any expression of the form a2 - b2, where a and b are numerical coefficients or variables, can be factored as (a + b)(a - b). 2. Examples are provided to demonstrate factoring expressions like 4x2 - 9, z2 - 16, and expressions with multiple terms. 3. The strategy involves identifying whether each term is a perfect square, then subtracting the expressions and grouping the terms with the plus and minus signs together. 4. More examples demonstrate factoring expressions like 6m - m6, 2x7y - 2
