| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{2w+1}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 2w-1\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{2w+1}\right) \cdot \left( 2w-1\right) = 4w^2 -\cancel{2w}+ \cancel{2w}-1 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 4w^2 \, \color{blue}{ -\cancel{2w}} \,+ \, \color{blue}{ \cancel{2w}} \,-1 = 4w^2-1 $$ |
