The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:

South Florida-based Silver Airways shuts down, stranding travelers - Sun Sentinel

If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2

And you are left with almost a square. One less than the square of side n.

Move the nub up to the top:

Why does having a college degree no longer carry the same prestige as before? People don't have the same respect for the educated.

n^2 - n + n - 1

So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.

While wearing high heels and walking heel to toe, when the toe box hit the floor there is a noise. How do I keep the noise just for the heel?

The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2

n^2 - 1

(n - 1)(n + 1)

What is price of the "liberal celebrities" e.g. Bill Maher, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Desi Lydic etc. to join the great MAGA movement like Stephen Colbert who wanted to European ambassadorship to turn back on "the Left"?
