I guess you mean 53^2 - 47^2
Its best to use the '^' symbol to avoid confusion.

For this case we have that by definition, the difference of squares is given by:

[tex]a ^ 2 - b ^ 2 = (a + b) (a-b)[/tex]

We then have the following expression:

[tex]53 ^ 2 - 47 ^ 2[/tex]

According to the definition, we rewrite as:

[tex]53 ^ 2 - 47 ^ 2 = (53 + 47) (53-47)[/tex]

Then, rewriting we have:

[tex]53 ^ 2 - 47 ^ 2 = (100) (6)\\53 ^ 2 - 47 ^ 2 = 600[/tex]

Answer:

Option B

[tex]53 ^ 2 - 47 ^ 2 = (53 + 47) (53-47) = (100) (6) = 600[/tex]
