\[ (y - 2)(y + 3) - (y - 1)^2 \]
\[ = (y^2 + 3y - 2y - 6) - (y^2 - 2y + 1) \]
\[ = (y^2 + y - 6) - (y^2 - 2y + 1) \]
\[ = y^2 + y - 6 - y^2 + 2y - 1 \]
\[ = (y^2 - y^2) + (y + 2y) + (-6 - 1) \]
\[ = 3y - 7 \]
\[ (p + 1)^2 - (p + 2)^2 \]

\[ = (4a^2 + 40a + 100) - 4a^2 - 40a \]
\[ = 4a^2 + 40a + 100 - 4a^2 - 40a \]
\[ = (4a^2 - 4a^2) + (40a - 40a) + 100 \]
\[ = 100 \]

\[ = (12b^2 + 24b) - (9b^2 - 25) \]
\[ = 12b^2 + 24b - 9b^2 + 25 \]

\[ (y - 4)^2 - (4 - y)(4 + y) \]
\[ = (y^2 - 8y + 16) - (16 - y^2) \]
\[ = y^2 - 8y + 16 - 16 + y^2 \]
\[ = (y^2 + y^2) - 8y + (16 - 16) \]
\[ = 2y^2 - 8y \]
\[ (4ab - b^2) + 2(a - b)^2 \]
