Step-by-step explanation:
a²-b²=a²+b²+2ab
=(a+b)²+2(ab)
=(4)²+2(-12)
=16+(-24)
=16-24
= -8
hence,a²-b²= -8

Answer:
a+b=4
=>a= 4-b
substitute a=4-b
=>(4-b)b = -12
=>b^2 -4b -12= 0
by solving the above quadratic eqn you get
=>b= -2 b=6
so b=-2 neglected
=>b=6
now
a+6=4
a= -2
so.
=>a-b
=>-2+6
=>4
and
a2-b2
=>-2×2+2×6
=>8
