If p - q = 4 and p² - q² = 24, what is the value of p + q?

p + q = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

p² - q² ← is a difference of squares and factors as

p² - q² = (p - q)(p + q) , then

p² - q² = 4(p + q) = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

p + q = 6

no because after the troops were pulled many blacks were killed by hangings lynchings and other cruel ways which in a way interrupted the reconstruction of the south and differed from the way abraham lincoln had an idea of reconstruction
