    (n+3)^2 - (n-2)^2 = 5(2n+1)

    (n^2+6n+9)-(n^2-4n+4)=(10n+5)

    n^2+6n+9-n^2+4n-4=10n+5

    10n+5=10n+5

    hope u understood

    LHS = (n+3)^2 - (n-2)^2

    = (n^2 + 6n + 9) - (n^2 - 4n + 4)

    = n^2 + 6n + 9 - n^2 + 4n - 4

    = 10n + 5

    = 5(2n + 1)

    = RHS

    (n + 3)^2 - (n - 2) ^ = n^2 + 6n + 9 - (n^2 -4n + 4) = 6n + 4n + 9 - 4 = 10n + 5 = 5(2n + 1)
